You can also choose from a range of RouteBuddy’s Topo Maps which are centered around UK sights and locations such as National Parks. It allows you to use Google Earth and Google Maps to track and create routes although it is quite heavily aimed at UK users with an additional 1000 Ordnance Survey GB Map titles to choose from – ideal for ramblers. However, RouteBuddy’s strength is in allowing you to choose from a wide range of maps to use. There’s an extensive user guide but most users won’t have the patience to go through the 80 pages or so required to get to grips with RouteBuddy.

RouteBuddy works on both Mac and PC and although it isn’t as slick or user friendly as either TrailRunner or rubiTrack, it has some interesting features.

#CARTOGRAPHICA USER GUIDE UPDATE#

This is due to the 32 bit architecture that will not be supported by Apple in future versions of macOS so if you might find yourself stuck in the future as the developer has stated that there are no plans to update it.

However, the problem with MacGPS Pro is that macOS 10.13 High Sierra will be the last version of macOS that MacGPS works with. MacGPS Pro can read GeoPDF, PRJ & EWW formats for georeferencing and KMZ files from Google Earth. MacGPS Pro allows you to connect to NMEA from many GPS receivers and allows you to create and edit waypoints.

MacGPS Pro is designed to link with professional GPS receivers or smartphone GPS apps. GPS Tracks is one of the few GPS apps on Mac that’s been regularly updated by its author so you should find it works on the latest versions of macOS Sierra and High Sierra without any problems. You can edit and review routes taken with your iPhone on your Mac later, view track statistics and add GPRS grid overlays to maps. GPS Tracks is mainly used for editing and creating routes allowing you to create and edit waypoints, view track statistics and sync all of your coordinates from your iPhone or iPad via iCloud. GPS Tracks is a very popular GPS tracker for iOS which is now available on Mac. rubiTrack also has a thriving forum of users and both the community and developers are responsive to problems or issues.

The basic version of rubiTrack is free but has limitations such as 30 days Cloud import, limited WiFi syncing and lacks many of the features of the full version such as Weight and Health data import, Bluetooth Heart Rate recording and Weather Info. You can also sync it with the free rubiTrack for iPhone and iPad app. rubiTrack can import GPS data from Garmin, Suunto, Polar and the cloud through Garmin Connect, Suunto Movescount and Runkeeper directly to your Mac, iPad or iPhone. rubiTrack is aimed at runners, swimmers and cyclists to record running routes and document training progress.

RubiTrack is a GPS tracker software for Mac focused strictly on fitness or sports although it can easily be used for hiking and other activities. TrailRunner Mini also syncs with TrailRunner Touch for iPhone and iPad. However, if you’re new to GPS and don’t want a bloated app on your Mac, then TrailRunner Mini is a much better choice. Note that the original Trailrunner doesn’t seem to be maintained or updated as well as Trailrunner Mini and you may have issues running it on the latest versions of macOS. If you need to import GPS coordinates and create GPS diaries of your travels, you’ll need the original Trailrunner app. The original Trailrunner app also allows you to import workouts from Nike+ and data from Garmin ForeRunner, Garmin Edge, Sunnto and Polar watches. Trailrunner Mini is a more user friendly version of the original TrailRunner software which is actually free (although the developer encourages donations if you like his work).

Trailrunner Mini basically does a hell of a lot more than the default free software that comes bundled with your GPS device and has a slick OS X interface. You can then re-watch your travels using GoogleEarth. This means you import data from apps that use the GPS on an iPhone (such as RaceBunny and Trails) and export them in KML or GPX format. It allows you to plan routes on maps using the free OpenStreetMap service and can import data in GPX, TCX, PWX and KML file formats. TrailRunner is probably the most popular GPS app for Macs and TrailRunner mini is a slimmed down version designed for runners, hikers and travelers of all kinds.
