Description
GedStar Pro for Android is based on the proven and popular GedStar Pro for PalmOS and uses a similar design. There is a Windows PC-based application that converts the data directly from your genealogy program (or via a GEDCOM file) into an Android-compatible database. When this database file is transferred to your Android device, it is viewable by the GedStar for Android application that is available from the Android Market mobile site.
The steps to viewing your family tree on your smartphone are simply as follows:
- Run GedStar Pro on your PC to convert from your genealogy program or GEDCOM file.
- Copy the converted database to the SD card on your device using a USB cable.
- Run GedStar Pro on your Android device to view all your data!
Although you can not edit data on your Android device, we think that GedStar Pro has many other features that are unmatched by competing products, including:
- Direct import of data from The Master Genealogist and Legacy Family Tree.
- Import of GEDCOM files to support all other genealogy programs.
- Display of photos (including those linked from GEDCOM files).
- No known limitations on the amount of data that can be handled (other than the space available on your SD card!).
- Selectable options on what data to include, as well as limiting the length of text.
- Support for your To-Do List or Research Log (Legacy and Master Genealogist only).
- Several ways to navigate from person to person (and back!).
