BARRIKADY  Excellent!

Thanks for making this available.  
(Version 1.0)

BARRIKADY  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!  
(Version 1.2)

BARRIKADY  The developer wrote:

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)

Pierre,

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your comments and respect your integrity.

BARRIKADY  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:

(Version 1.0)

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

Excellent data and map displays.

Responsive developer.  
(Version 1.5.2)

BARRIKADY  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:

BARRIKADY  Very nice, it does the job, and it does it well. thank you!  
(Version 0.4)

BARRIKADY  Nice!  
(Version 1.1)

BARRIKADY  Excellent.

Superior to xAct and Max. Thank you very much!  
(Version 20070214)

BARRIKADY  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.  
(Version 2.5.3150)

BARRIKADY  $200?  
(Version b308)

BARRIKADY  Nice. I used it with GPSPhotolinker, a Canon SD700 and a Garmin 60Cx.

I haven't yet figured out how to place the location of the photos on Google Earth which also has the track of my bikeride or hike. I'll experiment some more.

Thanks to the author for providing this nice app.  
(Version 0.9)

BARRIKADY  Tried to use this on my MacBook running OSX 10.4.7. The machine froze.  
(Version 1.0.4)

BARRIKADY  I have been using WebPics since 2004. It is a wonderful web gallery construction tool. Easy to use and the results are excellent.

The developer has upgraded the program over the years, and this version (2.8) is the best yet.  
(Version 2.8)

BARRIKADY  I have been using OtherTime for over a year. It is very nice, it works well, and is easy to use and set-up.

Thanks to the developer for making this little program available for free.

(Version 1.3)

BARRIKADY  I agree, this is the best I have used.

Thanks Nicolas Berloquin!  
(Version 1.0.6)

BARRIKADY  UPDATE:

I contacted the developer and he replied:

"There's no preference (yet) for display attributes in LoadMyTracks.

However, in google earth, if you right click on the track in the Places pane and then select Edit... and then select Advanced, you can adjust the visual properties including width, color, and opacity.

It's on the list, though, for customization features for the export."

Worked like a charm!  
(Version 020)

BARRIKADY  Very nice! This is the first piece of software I have found that recognizes my Garmin GPS 60Cx's USB port.

I do have a suggestion/request:

When I save the tracks as a KML file and open GoogleEarth, the track is white, which makes the track almost invisible. I looked at both LoadMyTracks and GoogleEarth for a preference to change the color of the track, but was not able to select a different color. Am I missing something?

Once again, very nice!  
(Version 020)

BARRIKADY  I've been using Macaroni for about a year. It works great. I believe it is an invaluable preventive-maintenance tool for assisting in good overall system performance.  
(Version 2.0.7b4)

BARRIKADY  Thank you. I have been using version 3.2 for quite some time, and it has always done what I wanted. 3.4 is a cut above 3.2, thanks for all of your efforts Simon!
