OR by using separate data entry fields for each part of the coordinate eg NSEW field, degree field, minute field, seconds field. Can fix by checking the data AFTER the user has submitted the whole coordinate. This is annoying and confusing for a new user. Entering GPS coordinates gives error message 'Invalid Coordinates' until you've entered enough data in the relevant format. So this coupled with inability to synchronise means you get multiple versions of the same data waypoints see 2) above.Ĥ. rubiTrack can import GPS data from Garmin, Suunto, Polar and the cloud through Garmin Connect, Suunto Movescount and Runkeeper. rubiTrack is aimed at runners, swimmers and cyclists to record running routes and document training progress.

App doesn't seem to edit the data on the device directly. rubiTrack is a GPS tracker software for Mac focused strictly on fitness or sports although it can easily be used for hiking and other activities. Doesn't synchronise so you end up with multiple versions of the same data like waypoints.ģ.

Transfer function can only upload or download between device and app. waypoints, and for this I need to use Google Earth to get the coordinates due to lack of Garmin maps!!! Google Earth is a must if you want to plan any trip.Ģ. As a result, the app is useful only for data entry e.g. Surely it won't hurt Garmin revenues if users were able to download BirdsEye Satellite Imagery. For Australia, this means you need to have at least a G2 device for a map that was last updated in 2012!!! This renders the app useless for any plotting function. No detailed maps to purchase for the app if your device doesn't support them. I thought it wrote a KML file, since Basecamp can export to KML directly.1. Garmin just removed a feature that's easy enough to emulate in other ways. Maybe there's more to it than the public info, but I don't see any greed in action. Did Garmin remove the feature rather than changing the name? Dunno.ĭisclosure: I've been OOO on medical leave for several months. Bummer that key had to change, but not difficult to recover.

We probably broke it last year when we internally changed the name of the app from Google Earth Free to Google Earth Pro and thus, on Windows, changing the registry key name. You should be able to dot he same thing with a drag and drop onto our icon or screen or maybe a file->import.

I get wanting everything to be free - it'd be awesome if my local Wal Mart offered that - but let's not confuse 'won't give everything away for free forever' with 'greed'.īasecamp's use of Earth wasn't anything magic IIRC - it just wrote its gdb or gpx file (or whatever it uses this week) and handed that to Earth (perhaps via Earth's copy of GPSBabel).

Google's 'greed' is still providing unlimited mobile and embedded maps and for the new products, wanting to recover some costs from the new features (of programs not being discussed here) for collection, development and serving images of the whole planet collected from satellites, planes, and cars.

On Mac OS x the problem with MapInstall 4.2.0 is. The only price change I can find for existing product is mobile StreetView and certainly the Desktop app is not using that. On Windows instead of the actual map - only the overview map is sent - so you will have a nearly empty map. The word Earth does not appear on the page you cite and doesn't even offer the APIs being discussed. Maps and Earth are indeed related, but they're two different products. You've been told this by both the Google employee that helped Garmin develop this feature and independently. You keep making up a connection where there is none. I asked for an authoritative URL and you provided on that's peripherally related. When things got renamed, Garmin's tools broke and that was a bummer. Garmin rather uniquely reached into Earth's innards to run the copy of GPSBabel that was there to use its KML writer, so they're coupled unfortunately tightly. There were reasons related to auto-updates that required the weird naming. The one that was kept had the feature set of Pro, but the outer shell was still the free version. Those same health issues are why I don't know the details of the precise Earth that's in play.Īs for the Earth naming thrash, once Google Earth Pro became free back in 2015-01, the need to keep the consumer 'Free' Earth dropped. It may be a bit dusty since I barely cache these days for health issues. You can drag and drop a (n unzipped) pocket query into Earth's 3D view and (though it asks you a kind of distracting dialogue) it'll render Geocache icons, cache container and size, with balloon content optimized for cachers like logs and links to other maps.

It was around 4.2 or 4.3 when I added geocaching-specific voodoo to it that lets it read a PQ specifically. Earth's been able to read GPX for a long time. I can't remember if it was in Earth 3, but it was in Earth 4.0.
