I posted this in the Tack ir 3 pro forum but thought I might as well stick it here as well.
I recently ordered a trackir 3 pro from a canadian distributer (extremegamingdevices.com) which I recieved today. However the product that arrived was a Smart Nav 2 with a "3" sticker placed over the 2 on the box.
Huge concerns here... this obviously isn't what I ordered. not even the same version number.
I am gonna contact the company and find out what is going on.......hopefully it was just an error on thier part, but somehow I doubt that........
TrackIR 3-Pro cheaper
Re: TrackIR 3-Pro cheaper
been read a bit on the site. Is the smart nav a better system than the track ir 3 pro (certainly more expensive)
but this is not the smartnav3 it is a smartnav2 that the shipper has place a "3" sticker over. Will it still use the version 4 trackir software or should I be trying to send this back to the company I ordered it from.........frustrating.

Re: TrackIR 3-Pro cheaper
Hi Fireman,
the SmartNAV 2 never saw the light of day. Instead Naturalpoint decided to call it 3 because it shares the same technical specs as the TrackIR 3. And hey, all the other cool companies skip version numbers, too...

Re: TrackIR 3-Pro cheaper
Well, it did see the light of day because the box mine was shipped in was a SmartNAV 2. So hopefully it is actually a SmartNAV 3.
I assume then that I can use the Track IR 3 Pro version 4 software from the website instead of using the NAV software it came with.

If you contact support@naturalpoint.com with the serial number of your device, they will identify the version and model that you have purchased. By your description though, it sounds like you have a SmartNAV 3.
Also, you can use the TrackIR version 4 software with your SmartNAV for gaming. If you wish to do cursor control, you will need to use the SmartNAV version 3 software, which provides many features to deliver an optimal cursor control experience.

Re: TrackIR 3-Pro cheaper
As an update, I did recieve a proper Track IR 3 pro. It seems it was a shipping error from my supplier. All has been rectifed (very quickly, I might add) and I'm now in the process of figuring this thing out.
