What's New
Version 3.41: Add support for some Garmin USB-based devices.
This type of application was wonderfull way back in the day when gps to computer interface was new. This app is a sad reflection on the poor status of gps-gis interfaces on the macintosh platform.
I'm glad to finally see a Mac OS X version of this program. I got to love it in the days of OS9, but feature-wise it's the same as it was years ago. I hope the developers keep this baby alive.
[Version 3.40b3]

I was able to get a realtime fix.
I was not able to use other functions like uploading or downloading waypoints.
But it's a nice start.
I'll keep playing with it, I don't know if I really have enough need to pay for it. Although I think it's a reasonable price.
