Satski

Michael18 August 2009

My unit worked pretty well. I used it for the first 3 days of my holiday to Kaprun. I think it worked ok. But can’t check it. on the fourth day I fell down on my right side. My Satski GPS was in my left pocket. But due to the shock it was defect after I fell to the ground. I returned it to Satski. And also am waiting now for quite a while (more than 2.5 months). Guess they are busy now. Anyways there is nu hurry. Because I have to wait for my next ski holiday for a couple of months. My advise to Satski R&D is to make it shockproof. Because I didn’t fall very hard. Despite this the device was broken. And every snow lover runs the risk of falling down maybe not because of his own fault but it can also happen if somebody who can’t ski properly hits you. Cheers, Michael.

Experienced this device on 2 winter sports occassions. But it didn't pay off for me. The concept is good, but the product needs quite some improvement still. At the piste I've had a lot difficulties to read the LCD. Frequently is was lacking GPS signal receipt. The design looks very nicely on the other hand. Whilst the above, I will use it for my next ski trip. But I hope Satski will have a trade inn programm within a few years, when the product is fully ready to do what it promisses.

My unit broke down on the first day of wintersport. Called them at internat. rate. CEO promissed me to send a new one on my holiday address. But it never happened. Thanks very much for nothing! More over when I emailed him my personal opinion he mailed me back that "I should get a life". How unprofessional.

Hi, I was disappointed by this device. I brought it with me. But a lot of times gps signal was lacking. And on the fourth day my device broke down. Further I noticed that my satski gps was scratched in my pocket. and battery time was quite short actually. it didn't last for a complete skiing day.

hi, my satski gps went defect. I shipped it back to them for repair. they repaired it, but now my device has a big scratch on the display. need to contact to satski support about this issue. and I had to wait for repair for around 3 monhts. what if the defect occurs in the beginning of the ski season. I was pretty disappointed about this issue.

I used the SATSKI software on my windows mobile phone (an MWG ZincII) for three trips last season and had no real issues with it. It was quite happy to run on my phone all day, with minimal impact on the battery life - it easily lasted all day. Though I didn't use it for navigation as such - though it did backup our initial thoughts on run choices - I left it tracking all day and it was nice to review the tracks at the end of the day. The one thing I would say is that, if the replays are to be believed, it's not that accurate at positioning you against the piste-map (though I know my GPS is pretty accurate on the road). I realise that most of the previous comments seem to refer to the GPS unit, however my experience of the software product was, overall, positive. I WILL be purchasing again this year (and it seems to be cheaper, too!)

I purchased the software at 79.99 for the winter of 2008. I used it it Vat thoren. It was running on my htc diamond. The diamond sat nav works fine with tomtom and always picks up a good signal. But with the satski it never pick up a signal that lasted for more than 5 mins in a whole 7 days. Spoke to co of the company and he would not refund me and he said my htc diamond must be faulty. The company have now sold to another so hopefully things have improved
