Publisher's description

From James Associates :

MacGPS Pro is Mac software for communicating with GPS Receivers and viewing your position on moving digital maps and nautical charts. These images can be viewed with no GPS receiver connected or used in real-time as a moving-map display of your current position and velocity.

It imports maps from a wide variety of sources in the following formats: TIFF (TIF), JPEG (JPG), GIF, PNG, PICT, BMP, Photoshop (PSD), PDF, and ECW.
It manually calibrates and imports maps that you scan yourself.
It imports nautical charts in Maptech BSB (v.1, v.2, v.3, v.4, v.5) format.
It supports NMEA 0183 input from all serial port, Bluetooth, and USGlobalSat USB receivers.
It graphically generates and edits Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks for two-way transfer between your Mac and many Garmin and Magellan Serial Port and USB Receivers.
It exchanges data with Google Earth.
It imports Waypoints from Geocaching files.
It imports and exports Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks in the GPX interchange format used by other GPS programs.
It shows elevation profiles.
It prints maps.

What's new in this version:

Adds a "Startup Items" folder where you can place map, waypoint, track, route, and gpx files. These will then open automatically when MacGPS Pro starts. Quite a time saver!
Adds labels when printing a map. The MacGPS Pro-generated grid lines are now labeled in the margins for the UTM grid and for all of the National Grids.
Adds to the list of available datums: Greek GGRS87, Luxembourg LUREF, several different countries using GRS80, New Zealand NZGD2000, and Sweden SWER... see all new features
