If you like MacGPS, you will love MacGPS Pro. It has all of the features of MacGPS, plus many more that our users have been asking for, including:
• The current GPS data can be spoken by the Macintosh voice synthesizer for safe use while driving, or for use by the blind.
• A zooming, scrolling moving-map type of display showing waypoints
and routes (as shown here), plus tracks, current position, and current
velocity vector (speed and direction). Here are the options available
on the map menu:
• A scanned or vector map in a PICT file can be calibrated and used as a background.
This example shows two tracks on top of a Colorado map obtained from the internet: an older drive from south Denver to Broomfield, and a current drive from Fort Collins to Boulder. The current position is about 6 miles northeast of downtown Boulder. The velocity vector shows where the car will be in 5 minutes if it continues on its current course at the current speed.
• Waypoints, Routes, and Track-Log maps for the GPS receiver screen may be generated by simply clicking the mouse on the background map.
• Averaging of Real-Time output to obtain more accurate readings.
• Almanac Files showing actual GPS satellite orbital parameters.
• Set your Macintosh clock from the accurate GPS time.
• Display or Upload Real-time (NMEA) files as Track-Log files.
• The Datum used in each window is displayed in the window title bar.
• Choosing a National Grid position format chooses the appropriate datum.
• Can show Maidenhead grid square location (used by Ham Radio operators).
• Works in the background as well as in the foreground.
We can't give this away, it took too much time to write, so we have made it commercial, but easily affordable. Simply send us the form below by email or regular mail, and MacGPS Pro is yours:
