Ascent

Barrikady reviewed on 21 Feb 2010

I originally reviewed Ascent in May 2007. It was very good then, it is even better now! The developer is very responsive and he has consistently updated and upgraded the program since 2007.

There is a similar program available. It is called rubiTrack; it's not bad, but it pales in comparison to Ascent.

My 2 cents

Excellent!

Thanks for making this available.

HoudahGeo

barrikady commented on 24 Jul 2007

I have tried other Geo-Photo programs and they were complicated and not user friendly. HoudahGeo works well and is easy to use.

I use it with a Garmin 60Cx, LoadMyTracks either a Canon SD700is or a Canon 20D, and Google Earth.

Give it a spin!

HoudahGPS

barrikady commented on 25 Jun 2007

This doesn't work with OSX 10.4.10 and a Garmin 60Cx. The 60Cx shuts off after using HoudahGPS 1.0 and attempting to download a track to the computer. Did the developer test this app before releasing it as version 1.0?

However, Load My Tracks works great!

Go here for Load My Tracks:

HoudahGPS is merely a front end to GPSBabel.

I couldn't test it with all devices out there, but many people use GPSBabel with great success. The catch is that in order to get Wintec compatibility, I had to resort to a beta version of GPSBabel. This appears to have problems with Garmin devices that I was not aware of when releasing.

You might want to swap out the bundled version of GPSBabel for the latest stable version. Or you could wait for the next version of GPSBabel. When that is released I will issue an update to HoudahGPS.

HoudahGPS was never meant as a competition to LoadMyTracks. LMT is excellent software which I like a lot. It does however not support the Wintec devices. Conversely it supports many devices which GPSBabel does not support. Use what suits your needs. It's free after all. (6/25/2007, Version: 1.0)

Works very well with my Forerunner 205 interfaced with a G5 and a MacBook.

Excellent data and map displays.

Responsive developer.

Garmin WebUpdater

Finally!

I tried it with a G5 dual 1.8, OSX 10.4.9, and a Garmin 60Cx.

It upgraded the software and GPS firmware, with no problems.

BTW, Garmin has also released POI Loader for Mac OSX:

Sweet! Parallels is now able to run Garmin Mapsource CN North America v8 and Garmin Training Center. I can attach my Garmin Forerunner 205 via USB, and download data.
