Glad I found this thread! Downloaded DM5 last night for my wife and I to use with our 2 new Zoop Novo computers. She downloaded the PC version for her laptop first. Took forever but she didn't have any problems. Downloaded Movescount without any issues. I was actually relieved and thought it was smooth sailing for me. Especially since I am a Mac guy and most installs go smoother and quicker on a Mac.
Well, I think we all know where this is heading... did the install on my Mac. Took a really long time for the software to recognize my computer but it finally popped up. I thought everything was going well. My first few dives were showing up but I noticed the information to the right wasn't all there like my wife's screen. But when I ran my mouse over it, the information then showed up. The main issue is if I click on any icon on the main dive profile graph. Every single time, the program crashes. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. UHG!
Needless to say, the program is useless. And it really surprises me that these smaller developers like MacDive and SubSurface have beEn able to put together a better product than Suunto. As a trail runner, the Suunto Ambit is one of the best GPS running watches out there and the software works great. Unfortunately that's not the case with DM5. And it really worries me that no one from Suunto is following this discussion anymore and we are still experiencing the same problems almost 2 years later.
I'll be deleting DM5 when I get home this evening and buying MacDive or downloading Subsurface. At least the wife is happy with hers. If hers didn't work, I can promise you these computers would be in a box waiting to be returned.
Is it too soon for a newly certified OW diver to upgrade to a Shearwater Perdix?
