Sad to see that this is AppStore only now. So without the AppStore existing customers are left behind.

Version: 4.1.1

It would be great if this could also translate the .result format produced by Sony Ericsson GPS phones (i.e. the Elm or the Hazel) - somebody already implemented this in Java, but it does not run on the Mac as far as I know…

Finally a simple app for creating KML files from GPS logs. I wonder why nobody wrote this before ... Very well done, thanks!

This software works very well with converting Garmin GPS files to KLM files for Google Earth. I am pleased with the results.

The reason this application exists is that I gifted my mother a Wintec WBT-201 for her birthday. The idea was that she could geocode her photos using Google Earth. Then she said: what if I don't have photos? I just want to see where I went. Thus arrised the need to be able to create plain KML files. Turns out GPSBabel is good at that. All it needed was a decent UI. I hope I was able to provide that to my mother. And I gladly share it with all of you. Please support the GPSBabel project.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 305 which connects to my Mac via USB. I, too, was unable to get anything off of the Garmin with this application. It just says: Bad cmdsend r 0 sz 12 Don't know if it's compatible with my Forerunner, but there doesn't seem to be a list so hard to say.

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: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20893
