Product Description:

LoadMyTracks downloads Tracks, Routes, and Waypoints from GPS receivers (including those from Garmin, GlobalSat, Magellan, Lowrance, Sony, TomTom and Timex) to your Macintosh. From this information, it can create GPX files (for use in software that understands GPS output) or KML files (for use with Google Earth and Google Maps).

LoadMyTracks can now send GPX files to your Garmin or Magellan GPS Devices, including Geocaching.com extensions and LOC files for Geocaching (support for KML and other GPS Devices will be forthcoming).

The software can also transcode files from GPX to KML (although not in the other direction) and load archived files for certain Magellan and Lowrance devices that have known formats (see the Help files for details on this, including required extensions)

On some devices that have support for monitoring other variables (such as heart rate and cadence on certain Garmin devices), we now provide additional information in the GPX files showing this data.

Although this software is no longer marked beta, please make sure to visit our Bug Reporting page if you have any problems or suggestions.

ClueTrust is providing LoadMyTracks as freeware for the Macintosh community.

I have a USglobalsat BT-335 which is a fantastic GPS data logger but their Mac software is pretty buggy. The worst bug is that once the amount of logged data is over a certain size, the software will just stop downloading. If it weren't for LoadMyTracks, the only option I would have is to locate some PC running Windows so I could access my data. Fortunately, I can just pick the Globalsat DG-100 which works with the BT-335 as well and use LoadMyTracks to download the data.

LoadMyTracks also allows me to view elevation profiles generated with my BT-335. The Global Sync 2 software for the Mac has a bug where if the elevation goes below 0 it will output an elevation of 429400 plus meter readings. If I load the same data using LoadMyTracks, it correctly records the elevation as below sea level.
