Usage

Not directly, but the latest version of JumpTrack supports export of its log in a CSV format suitable for Paralog.
Please see this page (Tracks/Read). If your GPS is not in this list, try to export to GPX format.
Either restore the database from your computer backups, or - if you enabled backups in the Preferences - simply open the latest backup of the database file in Paralog's data directory. You can also restore your log from jumplog.net if you have a premium or power account and kept your log in sync.
No, and there is no need to: GPS tracks have all the information any barometric logger has - and more. We suggest to load all your jumps from your barometric logger and if you have GPS tracks for a jump, 'Update' those jumps with the GPS track.
Select File/Open from the main menu in Paralog. The name and location of your log will be set as the default entry.
After downloading from an unregistered device, Paralog will display the S/N found.
