I agree about the software being free. You don't have to buy a thing to get the software. The money you spend on a suunto computer is just that and worth every cent. The software isn't spectacular and I'm sure didn't cost them an arm and a leg to come up with. It is really a simple program to write I'm sure (simple for those that do it I mean). If part of your dive computer purchase went to pay for the software, trust me, it wouldn't be available to download for free. Sounds like someone has a PC chip on their shoulder to me. Entering info is as simple as typing it in... the only thing better would be if the software read your mind or if you could just tell it the info.
Lastly... the graphs will never be too exact considering they're not in real time. There should be an option to enlarge the graph. Have you contacted Suunto with your request? Thats the only way things get changed. They do update the software every once in a while. You could of course take the raw data and enter it into Excel (PC of course) and make your graph from there and be able to modify it. When I get back from the keys, i think I may try it out... of course it will involve a heck of a lot of entering info. If we really want the software to change, there are enough members on the board with the same opinions about the software to definately have an impact if would combine our efforts. Companies like suunto want to provide a product everyone wants and you have to admit they come pretty close to that with their computers. A little polishing of the software and they're unbeatable.
