myTracks 2.0

myTracks 2.0 brings you a useful, geotagging application with a convenient GPS track library which can be downloaded from most of the common GPS loggers, such as: Wintec WBT-201, Holux M-241 and GPSport 245, Columbus V-900, Gisteq Phototrackr and Phototrackr Lite, iBlue 747 and Sony GPS CS-1 and CS-3. The new GPS-Logger-Assistant helps configuring your device. The GPS tracks are drawn on different maps which are also available while being unconnected from the internet. The most incredible feature is the synchronization with iPhoto '09. Just select your photos or events in iPhoto, drop them to myTracks's dock icon and they will be geotagged automatically. They are available in iPhoto's Places immediately. There is nothing more to do.

Major Features:

1. GPS Devices: myTracks supports a lot of different GPS devices. Using the new GPS Logger Assistant the setup is done with some simple clicks. Finally you can import GPS tracks directly into myTracks.
2. Track Library: GPS tracks can be managed within the track library comfortably. You can structure the library using folders as much as you like.
3. Geotagging: myTracks has two different Geotagging modes. In the 1-click geotagging mode you only have to drag&drop your files onto myTracks‘s dock icon. The second mode gives you full control over the geotagging process. E.g. you can specify a time correction if your camera was set to the wrong time. It is also possible to use myTracks for manual geotagging in case you don‘t have a GPS track.
4. iPhoto ’09: You use iPhoto ’09? Then you will love myTracks because geotagging becomes so easy. Just drag&drop your photos to myTracks‘s dock icon and myTracks automatically updates the location information of your photos in the iPhoto places database.
5. Maps: myTracks shows GPS tracks on maps. You can move the map and zoom in and out. By default the map of OpenStreetMap is used. But you can also add other offline maps. To easily navigate to different places myTracks provides a bookmark and a search feature.
6. Elevation and Speed Profile: Besides displaying GPS tracks on the map myTracks can show an elevation and a speed profile.
7. Editing Tracks: Sometimes, GPS tracks are not very accurate. GPS loggers may have problems in the mountains or between high buildings. In this case you may want to correct these tracks. You can edit track points and even whole parts of track using the edit mode of myTracks. Its also possible to delete individual track points.
8. Import and Export: You can export GPS tracks to different file formats. Besides the standard for GPS tracks, GPX, you can export track to KML and KMZ files. You can import both GPX and KML files of course. If you have photos which already contain GPS information it‘s also possible to create a new track out of these files.
9. Google Earth: With a single click you can view a GPS track with Google Earth.
10. Online Services: myTracks can upload your photos including the location information to the online photo services flickr and locr.
11. Help: myTracks has a detailed online help. With short screencasts the different features of myTracks are explained clearly. After the first start of myTracks special help windows will pop-up explaining the most important workflows.
