Does not export to receiver???

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

My read of this software is it a good mapping package for use on a Mac. However, it will not export to a receiver.

From my point of view (marine use) this makes it a non-starter. No matter how nice the UI is why in the world buy something that is essentially a standalone app? I would have a Garmin handheld that can't be supported with this app, a Mac laptop to run the app and a win machine to support the handheld.

MacGPS Pro can do both. I'm not a MacGPS Pro user so no plug intended.

artherstrasse, your comment is dead wrong. - GPSNavX

GPSNavX does support transfer of waypoints, routes, tracks to/fro GPS receivers including Garmin Marine models (those that support NMEA data). GPSNavX can also import and export GPX format. This allows GPSNavX to work with LoadMyTracks which supports non marine models from Garmin. One does not need Windows on a PC. One can use GPSNavX to upload waypoints and routes to the GPS and then download the track from the GPS. FWIW: GPSNavX uses with marine navigation charts (not maps). Contact us directly if you need help interfacing your GPS to your Mac.
