Etopo with MacGPS Pro

MacGPS Pro™ works with Garmin and Magellan GPS receivers for transferring Waypoints, Routes, Tracklogs, and GPS satellite Almanacs. MacGPS Pro works with almost all brands of GPS receivers for a real-time display of GPS information on a moving map on the Macintosh screen. It allows import of maps from a wide variety of sources. These maps can be viewed with no GPS receiver connected, or used in real-time as a moving-map display of your current position and velocity. They can also be used as a background to graphically create, display and edit Waypoints, Routes and Tracklogs.

Native on Mac OS X since November 11, 2002. MacGPS Pro is also available in a Classic version for Mac OS 6 through Mac OS 9 for those who love their older PowerPC and 68K Macs.

Supports all Garmin and Magellan handheld and fixed-mount GPS receivers with displays (except those receivers which only have a USB interface) for upload and download of Waypoints (with their Icons), Proximity Waypoints, Routes, Track Logs, and Satellite Almanacs. All coordinate transfers produce a map on the screen of the data transferred. All are saved in editable, tab-delimited text files, allowing easy data exchange with spreadsheets, databases, text editors, and other mapping programs.

Supports almost all brands of GPS receivers, including the new Bluetooth wireless receivers, for a real-time display of GPS information on a moving map on the Macintosh screen. Waypoints, Routes and Tracklogs can be generated and used on the Mac.

Real-Time data (NMEA 0183) capture and/or display. Optional large font display makes for easy viewing at a distance or with a quick glance. The current GPS data can be spoken by MacGPS Pro.

User selectable map projections: Albers Equal-Area Conic, Azimuthal Equidistant, Equidistant Cylindrical, Lambert Conformal Conic, Mercator, Oblique Orthographic, Sinusoidal, Stereographic, Transverse Mercator, British Grid, Irish Grid, New Zealand Grid, Swedish Grid, Taiwan Grid, and Swiss Grid.

User selectable map datum, allowing coordinate conversions to and from the same set of 106 map datums that are used by Garmin GPS receivers. User selectable position format, with latitude and longitude in degree/minute/second, degree/decimal minute or decimal degree format, UTM, MGRS, British, German, Irish, New Zealand, Swedish, Swiss, or Taiwan Grid coordinates, or Maidenhead Grid Squares (used by Ham Radio operators).

Graphical Editing of Waypoints and Routes. Add, delete, move, change Icon, change name, change comment, change elevation, change proximity distance, change icon color. Combine several waypoint files. Convert datums and coordinate formats.

Use AppleScript to control many MacGPS Pro functions.
