    Qstarz BL-818GT Support?

    Are there any plans to support the Qstarz BL-818GT? It is a BLE unit with 10hz and built-in g-sensor. Currently any efforts to get it to work with TrackAddict have failed. It is a different/newer unit than the Qstarz 818XT.

    No plans at this time, but we are aware of it and can revisit later. The problem in supporting most of these BLE GPS units is that each one is likely to use its own custom format rather than being universal like classic Bluetooth with NMEA, so now we're in the predicament of having to evaluate the ROI on each and every one that we want to support, when there are still plenty of other features we'd rather spend our time on that could benefit most everyone.

    Another vote here to revisit support for this particular unit. The Garmin Glo 2 has no stock/is discontinued everywhere. The XGPS160 is really pricey and has reliability issues. That leaves the BL-818GT as the current best option for a 10Hz GPS + GLONASS unit. It's supported by both Harry's and RaceChrono.

    I've used your app for a long time but had to switch to competing software after getting this unit. I personally still prefer the TrackAddict app, so this is rather unfortunate. Let me know if support is added eventually, and I'd be happy to come back.
