GPSRouteX for Mac1.01

Don't be put off by the above review - it's actually incorrect in some important regards. GPSRouteX works with anything that GPSd supports - including serial, USB and Bluetooth GPS receivers. It is correct that you need to install GPSd before you can run GPSRouteX... but that's very easy to do: gpsdX comes with an installer and a GUI config utility that takes care of all the heavy lifting. Best of all, gpsdX is free! I sent an e-mail to the user who posted the above comments to try and help him figure out the problems he was having, but haven't heard back from him yet. If you have any problems with any of my software, please e-mail me using the address on the web site. As many users can attest, I'll do my best to sort out any problems... and of course, I'm always keen to improve the software, too!

Features: it only supports RS232, so it's pretty useless for people who have bought their GPS recevers in the last few years. Come on, it's 2006 now, every manufacturer uses USB! Ease of use: i was surprised at first when I could start the application. After I read the manual, I have figured out that you need some kind of a driver (gpsdX). Please, write a proper installer, Mac folks are not used to fiddle around with the installation of extra software components to get the application work! Value: for an application with no USB support and manual setup, a price of 29$ is definitely too much. Stability: no issues at all, therefore 5 stars here.
