Application Data

Application data, such as names, filters, log files, and so forth, is cached in the Application Data folder. The default location of the Application Data folder is in a directory in the root drive where the operating system is installed (typically C:\) with the path name: Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data.

 

Omnipeek creates a subdirectory structure within these locations to cache application data. That subdirectory structure is: LiveAction\Omnipeek. For example, the application data for the Administrator of a Windows 7 64-bit system would be cached in: C:\Users\tsadmin\AppData\Roaming\LiveAction\Omnipeek.

GPS

The LiveAction GPS Daemon is the interface between itself and your GPS receiver and is typically installed by default at C:\Program Files\Common Files\LiveAction\GPS\gpsdaemon.exe.
