GPSUtility ReviewA good companion to RouteBuddy - Version: 2.00, 6/25/2007 06:17AM PST

I use this together with RouteBuddy ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/30483 ) and a Nokia LD-3W bluetooth unit.

Interface is not the prettiest, but it works like a charm. And it's free!

Useful little app, but the interface needs reworking. The slides are annoying, especially when they overlap as the monitoring and settings slides do. Why not put this information all on one window pane, or move the settings to menu options?

cheers

A nice, simple little app that works. It gives you the basic navigation info from the GPS. The monitor window is also damn useful when you want to know if the port-serial converter-driver mess is working while you're still indoors without GPS signal.

My thoughts:

-The "no data in 1.5 minutes" warning dialog is irritating. A "no fix" or "no data" message in the main display would work just as well and would avoid the pesky bouncing dock icon too.

-You can force the panes to slide out on the other side by putting the main window near the edge of the screen. It won't remember this between sessions though.

-gpsd support would be grand.
