Pc Software use.

Hi, Everybody. I just want to say 'THANK YOU" for all of the Great advise, I have received on my previous posts. I have a SUUNTO ZOOP NOVO dive computer. I have ordered the USB interface cable. So, I can connect it to my LapTop . I know I first need to down load the drivers and software. Is there any YouTube videos, that I can watch, to learn how to use all of the functions adequately?? I could also use a decent User Guide the one that came in the box is Crap

Don't even bother with Suunto's crap software. Pick up SubSurface or MacDive (if you're on a Mac) and use that for logging. Both of them are leaps and bounds better than Suunto's stuff.

What johnnyC said. If you feel you must use the Suunto software do NOT use DM5, get DM4. DM5 is a real mistake.
Spend some time in the DM5 thread. Dm5
The thread support guy from Suunto abandoned it and could not answer most of the questions or address the complaints.

Probably a stupid Question:But> That software will work with my Suunto Zoop Novo??

Is DM5 good by now??

NO!!!!!
They have done NOTHING to fix it. They should scrap it and go back to DM4.
Yes, the other software will work with Zoop.

Can you recommend a site to download it from

Can you recommend a site to download it from

Subsurface

MacDive

Seriously, don't even bother with any of the Suunto software. DM4 just sucked less than DM5 does, but it still sucks.

Both work with the Zoop Novo. Subsurface is free, Macdive is $25, but has a free trial.

I have a suunto as well and use DiveLogDT on my Mac and DiveLog on my iOS devices. It syncs both ways so can download direct from your Suunto to dive computer or from manual entry at dive site/remote from iOS and update the data by syncing whichever way you want. You can then also backup both to iCloud. Love it!
