TrackLogs Extends Supported GPS Range

Tracklogs has extended its list of supported GPS units to include all the Magellan recreational range and the latest USB-driven devices from Garmin.

Existing version two users can download the upgraded software for free from the TrackLogs web site.

The move is a response to the ever increasing number of GPS units coming onto the market over the past few months. These include new sports specific devices like the Garmin Forerunner, which is aimed at runners, and the impressively compact wrist-mounting ForeTrex.

Magellan's Sportrak range is also looking strong and is now fully supported by the TrackLogs digital mapping software.

'The use of native USB on a recreational GPS was long overdue,' says Andy Shelley of TrackLogs support. 'The immense detail generated by route planning on 1:25,000 TrackLogs means hundreds of track points making fast data transfer a real requirement.'

As we mentioned above, users of TrackLogs version two products can download the Magellan-aware software as a free update. Users of the older version one software will need to upgrade their existing software to version two. See this page for more information.

Well done to the TrackLogs team for catching up and finally including Megellan GPS units support!

Not soon enough, and in my book it makes the TrackLogs software the best out there now.
