History
Qstarz International Co., Ltd. is a Taiwanese GPS-hardware maker. The BT-Q1000 is built on an MTK (MediaTek) GPS chipset — the same chipset lineage as other loggers RouteConverter supports as their own format families, including i-Blue 747 and Haicom, though each logs to its own distinct CSV column layout. No verifiable release date is documented for the device.
Where it is used
The device logs GPS fixes to its own onboard memory (rated for over 100,000 records) for later transfer to a PC as a travel/track recording, independent of any live Bluetooth connection.
Structure
A plain-text CSV: a fixed header line (INDEX,RCR,DATE,TIME,VALID,LATITUDE,N/S, LONGITUDE,E/W,HEIGHT,SPEED,HDOP,NSAT (USED/VIEW),DISTANCE,) followed by one row per fix, additionally carrying HDOP and a used/viewed satellite count that the sibling i-Blue 747 format's columns do not have.
How widespread
A GPS-hardware vendor still selling travel/data-logger products as of this writing; files in this format are typically travel-recording downloads from a BT-Q1000 device.
RouteConverter support
| Reads | Qstarz BT-Q1000 |
| Writes | Qstarz BT-Q1000 |
RouteConverter reads and writes Qstarz BT-Q1000 tracks directly, without GPSBabel. On read, only rows with fix type "SPS" are treated as positions; on write, every row is emitted with fix type "T"/"SPS", and the running distance column resets to "0.0" at the first position of each route.
