3D IP Lookup Widget (formerly GeoIP Lookup Widget) visualizes the geographical location of a hostname or an IP address from the traceroute output in Google Earth.

The widget launches a traceroute on the given hostname, then queries the 3D IP Lookup web service (http://tetra.emeraldion.it/3dip_lookup.html) and then opens the resulting KML file in Google Earth.

Geographical data is provided by My IP Address lookup service.

This application uses data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), it is therefore only useful for the geography of the USA.

DESCRIPTION
Terrabrowser is an internet browser for satellite photos and topographical maps which are obtained from the Microsoft Terra Server. The map data is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and therefore only covers the United States at this time (although expansion to other map servers may occur in the future). Although a GPS receiver is not required to enjoy Terrabrowser, using one opens up more extensive features such as bookmark transfer, and tracklog/route display. Includes extensive bookmarking support, image cache, address search, region download, and many other features! Read the rest of this entry »

Ascent is a new application for the Macintosh designed to help cyclists, runners, and hikers train better by organizing activity data and presenting it in useful ways. Using Ascent, you can download activity data directly from your GPS into the program, and immediately begin analyzing the data as it is presented to you in various graphical and textual formats. The “Animation” feature lets you re-play the activity so you can review in detail your performance during any segment of the activity.

TrueNav is a digital hub for GPS devices. You can set markers on the map to indicate points of interest, reference the markers to find out where you’ve been or where you want to go, and expand your digital hub to include global positioning system (GPS) devices.

PhotoGPSEditor is an easy to use meta-data editor for photo (JPEG/RAW/Tiff) files, plus it can match data from GPS (gpx or NMEA) files. The program is freeware, however, donatations can be made to help support future development.

With PhotoGPSEditor you can add location and summary details to a JPEG, RAW or Tiff files. Location information consists of latitude and longitide data, as well as town, area/region, and country. This can be added automatically by matching up photos with GPS (gpx or NMEA) file track data, manually (just type it in) or ‘automatically’ by placing a pointer on a map to get the latitude and longitide data. The program can then add town, area/region, and country information. This process can also be described as ‘geocoding’ a picture/photo.

GPSy is a sophisticated Macintosh GPS communications and GIS mapping program. GPSy connects your Macintosh to a broad range of Global Positioning System (GPS) navigational units and has advanced mapping, logging, and data transfer features. GPSy has extensive support for USGS DRG topo maps, Internet DGPS-IP servers, GPSyLinks to Internet Map Servers, StreetAtlas 4, and IPC’s MapFan II, as well as user-scanned maps, Magellan and Lowrance/Eagle data transfer protocols, Sony IPS protocol, Rockwell Zodiac/Tripmate binary protocol support, Trimble TSIP support and much more.

LoadMyTracks is a utility that allows users of the Macintosh to download track, route, and waypoint information from a variety of GPS receivers from Garmin, Magellan, TomTom, Lowrance, Timex, and turn them into GPX files or KML files (for use with Google Earth).

LoadMyTracks can also send Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes to your Garmin and Magellan GPS devices (support for other manufacturers will be forthcoming)! It will also translate GPX files to KML and convert some existing saved files from certain (Lowrance and Magellan) GPS receivers. Using extensions to GPX 1.1, it will also place cadence, heart rate, and lap information into the GPX files.

LoadMyTracks will also import and export Geocaching information from supported devices and file formats (including LOC for import and GPX for import and export).

GPS Automator Actions is a set of Automator Actions to download, upload and convert GPS routes, waypoints and tracks.

Geocaching Menu makes it easy to download geocaching waypoints from webpages directly to your GPS device without the need of first saving these on the computer.

Geocaching is an outdoor activity that most often involves the use of a Global Positioning System (“GPS”) receiver or traditional navigational techniques to find a “geocache” (or “cache”) placed anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small, waterproof container containing a logbook and “treasure”, usually trinkets of little value.

GPSPhotoLinker can be used to save location and GPS position data to a photo. The latitude and longitude recorded by your GPS unit while you were taking photos can be linked, and saved, to the photos. GPSPhotoLinker automatically enters the city, state, and country annotations into the metadata.

Check out the companion application MapThePhoto which lets you map a geolocated photo from anywhere in the finder with a simple right click. Also check out iPhotoToGoogleEarth,a plugin for iPhoto 6 that will export photos for viewing in Google Earth. With Spotlight in Mac OS X 10.4, you can instantly search for the city, state and country information automatically saved by GPSPhotoLinker. Additionally, Mac OS X 10.4 does support the GPS metadata tags in photos. This will open up a whole realm of opportunities for users and developers to take advantage of the position data on photos.

Images and Texts from the macenc-website: MacENC is the professional solution for the mariner that wants to take the Mac aboard for real-time display of position on the vector format S-57/S-63 ENCs (Electronic Navigational Charts) AND raster format BSB and Softcharts. Plug your GPS into your Mac and watch as your vessel moves along in real-time, plotting a track behind and logging a historic position on a seamless quilted digital chart.

The historical position is stored. Selecting any row plots the past position on the chart including bearing and speed. In this example the Route from SAPRCH to GGBRG is shown with the actual sailed track. Read the rest of this entry »
