LoadMyTracks downloads Tracks, Routes, and Waypoints from GPS receivers (including those from Garmin, GlobalSat, Magellan, Lowrance, Sony, TomTom and Timex) to your Macintosh. From this information, it can create GPX files (for use in software that understands GPS output) or KML files (for use with Google Earth and Google Maps).
LoadMyTracks can now send GPX files to your Garmin or Magellan GPS Devices, including Geocaching.com extensions and LOC files for Geocaching (support for KML and other GPS Devices will be forthcoming).
The software can also transcode files from GPX to KML (although not in the other direction) and load archived files for certain Magellan and Lowrance devices that have known formats (see the Help files for details on this, including required extensions)
On some devices that have support for monitoring other variables (such as heart rate and cadence on certain Garmin devices), we now provide additional information in the GPX files showing this data.
Although this software is no longer marked beta, please make sure to visit our Bug Reporting page if you have any problems or suggestions.
ClueTrust is providing LoadMyTracks as freeware for the Macintosh community.
What's new in this version:
Features added in version 1.3
- Support for the GlobalSat DG-100 (and possibly other GlobalSat devices)
- Additional French localization by Patrick Blancheton
- Add Erase... button for devices that don't have an erase UI (such as the DG-100 and the Timex Datalogger)
- Erase for DG-100 and Timex Data Logger
- Always show serial port names for serial port devices. This makes it more obvious when LoadMyTracks is about to talk to your cell phone instead of your GPS.
Fixed in version 1.3
- Timex code now uses a complex algorithm to attempt to guarantee that time never goes backward.
- Magellan and Timex documentation updated
- Fixed bug that caused Garmin Serial devices to silently fail to transfer data if a Garmin USB device was connected to the same machine.
- Fixed bug that sometimes resulted in spurious characters when a name in a GPX or KML file contained a character that needed to be escaped.
- Fixed a memory leak in the Magellan Serial Port plugin
