The previous release of 5.1 also crashed. 5.0 works fine. I have no idea what is causing the problem.

Still no iPhone GPS Support, Still not 64-bit! Is Apple restricting developers from accessing the iPhone GPS from a Mac?

Still a cool app, though. This version includes the Internet-Plugin in the download, and you get the option of a version that auto-updates, and one that does not. FINALLY! ;-)

Have crashed on my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. I reverted to the latest 5.0 release in both cases.
