LoadMyTracks can now send tracks!

location based services

We've heard your requests and are happy to announce that we have added this feature to the latest versions of LoadMyTracks. This is, by far and away, the most requested feature for LoadMyTracks and we will be diligently working over the next few weeks to bring this feature to our other supported GPS devices (today it works on Magellan and Garmin devices). Thanks for all of the encouragement and good thoughts by our current and future users. Please continue to provide us with the great feedback that you have with previous versions.
LoadMyTracks is a utility that allows users of the Macintosh to upload and download track, route, and waypoint information from a variety of GPS receivers and turn make the data available as either GPX files or KML files (for use with Google Earth).
Recent versions of LoadMyTracks also support some extensions to the GPX schema (defined originally by Topografix) in order to add support for heart rate, cadence, and lap information which is not in the current 1.0 or 1.1 versions of GPX. As of version 027, we are now using version 1.1 (the most up to date version ) and we have used the extension capability in the definition to add some additional data using our GPXDATA schema. The schema is currently open for review, but is still in the testing phase. More detailed information will be made available as it solidifies, but XML-saavy people are welcome to look at the schema and comment to us using the bug report form.
Added in version 032 is support for Geocaching using LOC files or GPX files with the extensions from geocaching.com . Right now, device support is limited, but there should be recognition of Geocache symbols for Garmin devices and support for full geocaching behavior on Magellan devices that support geocaching.
