Geochron Atlas 1

Overpriced pice of bling and the unit runs hot sent mine back plus if you want the add in layers you have to subscribe to them if you want a world map download Simon’s world map for free.

I have the Atlas2 4K version purchased from Purple Promotions in the UK, £399+£15 postage+vat. There is no support from them for my remote control which has been dreadful since day one, you’ll also be very lucky to get a reply on the phone Geochron USA are reluctant to replace the remote control due to shipping costs and directed me to Aliexpress to get one that is compatible - yes my system is still under warranty and yes I still have the email instructing me to do so. You should also be aware that the system runs very hot and seems dreadfully underpowered, causing it to become overloaded and slow down if you turn on too many layers, furthermore the live video feed from the ISS provided by NASA does not run smoothly if at all even if it is the only layer activated on a totally clear base map. My WiFi is 400mb down and 40mb up even direct Ethernet connection does not improve things. I just want it to work properly but even this is too much to ask, so draw your own conclusions from my experience, I’ve already advised my neighbour to waste his money elsewhere. I will not be renewing my annual subscription for all of the extras and just hope it breaks down sooner rather than later so I can bin it. I’m a UK customer located in Coventry, West Midlands and I am far from happy. UPDATE. Against my better judgement I eventually asked my neighbour to order 2 generic remote controls from Aliexpress as he has an account set up, to use with my Geochron, they arrived very quickly costing less than £9 for both inc. postage and the 2 usb WiFi dongles, they both work perfectly with the Geochron. Purple promotions will sell you a spare/replacement remote control for the Geochron at approximately £25 plus postage plus vat at the last look. It’s also possible you may not need a remote at all soon as Geochron are developing an app for your smartphone to operate the Geochron which maybe released later in 2024.
