Product Description:
Terrabrowser is an internet browser for satellite photos and topographical maps which are obtained from the Microsoft Terra Server. The map data is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and therefore only covers the United States at this time (although expansion to other map servers may occur in the future). Although a GPS receiver is not required to enjoy Terrabrowser, using one opens up more extensive features such as bookmark transfer, and tracklog/route display. Includes extensive bookmarking support, image cache, address search, region download, and many other features!
Terrabrowser features built in support* for Garmin GPS receivers, and also supports Magellan receivers when combined with the freeware program MacGPS Babel). Download waypoints from your GPS to display on the maps, edit them, upload new waypoints to your receiver.
Terrabrowser aims to be compatible with the rest of the GPS world, so it uses the XML based GPX file standard which allows easy exchange (file, copy/paste) with other GPS programs for Macintosh, Linux, Windows, etc. which support this format.

Great Program

I have been using it for years and not only does it work well. The developer is once of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of writing to for tech support.
I just got a GPS unit and I love the GPS integration that this program offers. In fact I do most of my route planning with this program. True I really don't need a GPS to places I have been hundreds of times but it makes a boring drive more interesting having the GPS along. The program is also good for scoping out an area before going there for a Geocache hunting trip.
A great program and a great developer gives this top marks in my book!
It works for me! - Version: 1.5b3, 4/28/2005 08:21PM PST

I have one caution for those out there naming their waypoints (and who doesn't?)
Do not use the ampersand (&) symbol, for some reason it renders your bookmarks unreadable and it'll appear as if you've lost them all on your next launch.
Furthermore it renders Terrabrowser unable to add further bookmarks to the file.
