My main irritation so far (and this has been the same since 2.X came out) is that when looking at all dives, you can't add/remove columns from the list of things displayed (at least I can't figure out how).
So for example, I can't get rid of the rubbish like sample interval, type of computer (since it's always my same cobra) and add in stuff I want to know, like how much lead I had on stuff like that (which I find more useful in my log).
Lots of little bugs in 2.1.3 Example, go into simulation mode and try and enter a temperature as 42°F, the number you enter is actually read in as 42°C, and then it converts the display from °C to °F for 108°F. You have to convert your temps to °C to input correctly.
Dive1621 provided a link to additional information on this issue, but I like one fellows comment that 2.1.3 is a "tarted Up" version. The graphical display is not user friendly - even to the point of figuring out why some dives end up in multiple locations when you import from 1.6.
Seems like this dog should be left alone until it can hunt.
I'm resurrecting this thread in the hope one of you SDM users has kept the installation download for v1.6
I have just switched to a new computer and can't find the relevant SDM installation file: I downloaded v2 and it is absolutely terrible. If anyone has the file please send it to me!
About a year ago, I bought a new Vytec along with the Suunto Dive Manager device and software. Never could get it to talk to my computer. Help from Suunto consisted of telling me to progressively disable everything else on my computer.
I gave up and went back to 1.6 and my old Athens Home soutions home built contacts. Still working fine with my Vytec and my son's Cobra.
