Free gps software for mac

GPSd is an internet daemon for connecting to and sharing a single GPS device among multiple client programs running on one or many computers. It is also an extremely easy way to add GPS functionality to your own software.
gpsdX is a Universal Binary build of GPSd, complete with an installer and a GUI configuration utility that makes it easy to set up the daemon on your system.
gpsdX works with any program that supports GPSd (such as gpsdrive, KisMac or gps2geX)
if your GPS software doesnt support it yet, contact the developer and tell them about GPSd!
Enhancements:
- Updated to match a version bump in the GPSd project
- Disk image re-created to reduce download size substantially
- Incorporates new (developmental) command to allow clients to query the buffering logic in use
- No other significant changes - users with version 1.4 need not upgrade.

GPSdings is a Java 1.5 command line tool for the manipulation and analysis of track and waypoint data recorded with a gps receiver.

GPSdings comprises the following applications:
• gpxovl - Converts between GPX and OVL formats.
• gpxkml - Converts GPX to KML.
• googlemap - Converts GPX to Google Maps API Javascript.
• exifloc - Determines the geolocation of digital camera pictures from a gps track.
• trackanalyzer - Analyzes and plots gps tracks.

GPS-Info CMM 2.0 is known as a Contextual Menu Module designed for Mac OS X that display the GPS coordinates of a photo file, and allows you to view that location in Google Earth, Flickr, Panoramio, Google Maps, or MapQuest. It supports a wide range of photo formats, such as JPG, TIFF, RAW, and PSD.

Select one photo in the Finder and launch GPS-Info with the context menu (in Snow Leopard), or using the Services menu, or with a double-click.

The cool, semi-transparent GPS-Info window displays a preview of the photo, and a couple of basic file details, such as its size, creation date, and modification date. The red geotag icon in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail indicates the presence of a geotag in the file already.
The center part contains the geotag. Not just the coordinate, but also the GPS altitude and view direction values, if they are contained in the photo.

Buttons on the right side of the window offer you powerful options to actually use the GPS data. First, you can launch a GeoFinder search in CDFinder, to find photos taken near this place in your CDFinder photo library.

And since CDFinder also searches iPhoto, this covers your entire iPhoto database as well, all in one click! Also, you can view the place in Google Earth, which will even be launched for you, if necessary. Exporting the GPS coordinate to the commonly used KML format is also just one click away.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips, or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and Magellan.

By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, GPSBabel returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we choose to use.

2. Geotag a batch of photos using precise criteria.
3. Shift incorrect time stamps on photos.
4. Automatically add the city, state, and country from your choice of servers.
5. Manually link track point and waypoints, or enter custom coordinates.
6. Read from GPX or TCX track files.
7. Easily upload to mapped web galleries.
