Jul 26, 2006 gps navigation, software
RouteBuddy is a GPS navigation software for your Mac OS X. It supports many different manufacturers such as Garmin, GlobalSat, and many more because it speaks the NMEA language. You can connect your GPS receiver via USB or bluetooth, doesn’t matter for RouteBuddy. To bring the feel of vector based Google Maps, developers at RouteBuddy decided to team up with TeleAtlas, one of the biggest map suppliers of the world.
It can currently run on OS X 10.3.9 or higher, so feel free to download a free trial version your Tiger or Panther. Just like most other Mac software RouteBuddy is a little costly. Just the software itself will set you back 100 bucks. Then you also have to purchase the map of the region you’ll likely be using your GPS in. Their maps cover US and Canada and most of Europe as well as Hong Kong and Singapore. Maps cost between $40 and $70.
