FlightTrack is a GPS track viewing and downloading software for Mac OS X designed with light aviation pilots in mind. It's main functions are: Downloading tracks from GPS/logger (Garmin/Palm/MLR). Viewing tracks in 3D over a the terrain rendered in 3D. Saving tracks in IGC format. Opening IGC files created by other software and viewing them. What's New: Version 0.0.14: New function: it is now possible to map an image over the terrain. Built in download of satellite images or maps. Use your own maps within FlightTrack thanks to the calibration function. Many file formats are supported (GDAL library): GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG... The far and near clipping planes are now adjusted depending on the size of the track. This should prevent the terrain from disappearing for when opening small (hike around the house) or large (long range flight) tracks. Fixed a bug that prevented files with uppercase extensions to be opened. Added leading zeros when displaying lat/long. Improved the precision of latitude and longitude of trackpoints in GPX files produced by FlightTrack compared to previous versions. GPX files are now output in GPX 1.1 version. There is still an issue with the 3D view on some (older) computers. It might not be possible to select a leg from the track or have a good display of maps. In this case, reducing window size or enabling "More Compatible Selection" in the "Advanced" tab of Preferences might help. |  |
