TimeZone

ahhh, endless possibilities for confusion... Not a problem if you move around just locally. But as soon as you travel across timezones (either by plane or on a cross country caravan trip, or simply by living near a time zone boundary) things become really messy. Better leave that setting alone, or set it to UTC/GMT if you know what you're doing.

If you didn't properly calibrate your camera's clock before recording the track then you can fix that by telling the program how much the camera time is off.

The Device settings screen is a bit confusing, but that's nothing compared to what you feel when you complete the setup. This is when you realise that all this does is write a config.txt file that you are then supposed to copy into the root of the SD card. How odd.

Round Up

So what we have here is a good looking and well performing data logger with two unique features - unlimited, replaceable memory, and voice note recording. The PocketGPSWorld team has actually selected this receiver as our standard equipment for moderators and speed camera verifiers, and we have purchased nine of the V-900.

On the other hand the TimeAlbum application is very frugal, and can only be used to convert the data to some more useful format for viewing with your preferred program.

Pros
voice recording
Micro SD card memory
blackbox mode
long term recording mode
high sensitivity 

Cons
USB cable for charging only, SD card needs to be extracted for reporting
very beepy and blinky
microphone position next to USB cable
very basic reporting module
