Just stumbled across this and it looks very interesting. Anyone else try this? Manual is available here: I downloaded the Mac version (Land 7.7.0 Mac) and registered for the free trial. Software installed fine and I was able to open some.kmz maps that I made previously. Next and I tried connecting to my Garmin GLO and couldn't get that to work.

Some of this may be Mac-specific. The computer was able to pair with the GLO on COM7. A little Googling suggested that this is an issue on the Mac and that you also need to create a COM5 port, which I did.

CompeGPS claimed to connect on COM5, but I couldn't get it to display coordinates and it didn't seem to work. Next I tried using my Montana 600 over USB with both Garmin and NMEA but I couldn't connect to that either. That was as much time as I felt like wasting for now, but this looks like a nice package if I could get it to work.

Maybe I will try the Windows version, although not very anxious to mess around with the HP Slate 500 anymore. Will be interested to hear if anyone else gets this working. EDIT I see they have a user forum here.

Haven't taken the time to really check it out yet though. Thanks, but I tried all the ports the software could find and also auto scanning. If you try the Windows version of CompeGPS, let me know if it works with your GLO. I probably won't spend much more time on this, it was just a novelty I wanted to play with since there is so little GPS/Navigation software that runs on the Mac. My 11' MacBook Air would be a nice little computer to use in the car.

I could just run Windows on it if I really wanted to do that. But I lost interest in using a laptop in a vehicle about 5 years ago. I think the main appeal of this package would be for Mac users, but they were probably scared away from here a long time ago. This software can open a wide variety of GIS file formats and that might be of interest to anyone who wants to download some of the cool free stuff available online, such as shapefiles, MrSID files, etc.

I recently got a new Windows machine and use GlobalMapper for this kind of thing, it's a really powerful GIS package. So CompeGPS doesn't really do anything for me, but there aren't many options out there for anyone who wants to use these kinds of files on the Mac. Anyway, I thought it was worth starting a thread just for the novelty value of discussing a multi-platform software package. Cool - maybe I will dig out my old uBlox (Streets & Trips) USB receiver and try.

Not sure what drivers might be needed on the Mac though, that could be a problem. FWIW, I found this on a Russian site, here's a link to a Google Translation. Note the last screenshot shows CompeGPS working with the GLO on a Mac, so apparently it's possible but I was doing something wrong. BTW, the other screenshot in that article also looks interesting - GPSNavX, which is another Mac program, although apparently intended for marine use. Using the suggestion in that (rather cryptic) Russian article, I was able to create a COM5 GLO serial device in addition to the default COM7 port.

The Mac is actually a BSD unix machine under the hood, so I used the 'cat' shell command to read data directly from COM5. Voila, I'm getting an NMEA data stream! Now I just need to figure out how to get CompeGPS to see it. % cat.
