Product Description:

MacGPS Pro is software for communicating with GPS Receivers and viewing your position on moving digital maps and nautical charts. These images can be viewed with no GPS receiver connected or used in real-time as a moving-map display of your current position and velocity.
  • It allows import of maps from a wide variety of sources in the following formats: TIFF (TIF), JPEG (JPG), GIF, PNG, PICT, BMP, Photoshop (PSD), SGI, TGA, and (in OS X) PDF.
  • It imports Nautical Charts in Softcharts (NOS) and Maptech (BSB v.1, v.2, v.3, v.4) format.
  • It supports NMEA 0183 input from all serial port, Bluetooth, and Rayming USB receivers. Waypoints, Routes and Tracklogs can be graphically generated and edited for use on the Mac, or for transfer to and from Garmin and Magellan GPS receivers.
  • MacGPS Pro imports routes from Maps On Us. It imports Waypoints from USGS Geographic Place Name files and .LOC files. It imports and exports waypoints, routes, and tracklogs in the GPX interchange format used by Geocachers.

MacGPS Pro CommentaryPersonal developer support - Version: 8.4, 9/30/2009 01:49PM PST

As a new user I was very pleasantly suprised at the personal support I got directly from the developer when having a problem with imported map calibration. This is becoming increasingly uncommon in a world dominated by either automated email responses or phone helplines that are never answered. Thank you Larry.
