Apple OSX road navigation software

GeoRoss · 02-28-08, 10:31 AM

I don't know if anyone has posted about this, but there is a relatively new OSX native GPS navigation software out.

http://www.routebuddy.com

I haven't used it or bought it yet, but from what I gather they are quite serious about developing a Apple OSX based navigation program. They seem to be actively updating it and making it better.

It is still far behind in features from PC programs like iGuidance, but it seems the only real complaints I find are from those who want better on the go route finding and people outside the US due to map availability.

For those of us who really would like to keep to one operating system platform, I think this may be the first real navigation software that can compete the Tom Tom units, PC navi software, etc.

I don't think it will supplant MacGPSPro for off road travel, using custom maps and whatnot, but I do think it make eventually become a great option for "in town" navigation.

There is a forum on their site and more information can be found on MP3car.com.
