RouteBuddy 1.4 released
RouteBuddy today released RouteBuddy 1.4, a major update to the GPSD mapping software for Mac OS X. The latest release adds support for Garmin nüvi devices as well as beta support for several TomTom devices -- including the popular "Go" and "Rider" models. RouteBUddy provides native Mac OS X support for Garmin and NMEA GPS hardware, and allows users to manage as well as display GPS data using high-precision vector-based road maps. The update allows users to import or export data in a wide range of formats, including CSV or KML for use with Microsoft Excel or Google Earth. Several crash bugs are also addressed in RouteBuddy 1.4, and an improved welcome screen is included for first-time users. RouteBuddy 1.4 is priced at $100 for new users, with maps for numerous different countries available from $40. The update is free for existing users and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
