And MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) is truly, truly horrible. We also do not likethe idea of having to develop separate versions for Windows 95 98 CE 2000 XP and NT if we wishto take advantage of these systems. The development environment (CodeWarrior Pro) is easy to use and we like the fact that we can make assumptions about our client's machines - i.e, more time developing new features and less time worrying about IRQ conflicts. We're very happy being registered developers on the Macintosh platform. Windows: A frequently asked question is whether we will port GPSy TM to the Windows environments. If you have any questions or comments concerning the relationship between the two products,please contact our technical support deparment.
#HOURWORLD PROGRAMMER PRO#
GPSyX is ourfoundational consumer-level product and it would be suicide for us to neglect it in any way.New and more complex features will continue to be added to GPSy Pro X, but we will try to filterthem down to GPSy X when we feel that they are both important to the consumer-base and notoverly complex. We hope to continue releasing GPSy X on a regular basis with free upgrades, where possible. For example, when GPSy 3.20 was releasedlater in October, it inherited the TFW Zone/Datum dialog panel as well as German Grid support from GPSy Pro.

GPSy Pro X is a super-setof GPSy X code and new features from Pro often filter down into GPSy X while bug-fixes forGPSy X make their way into the Pro code as well. We're happyto say that we're not joining their ranks.ĭevelopment on both GPSy X and GPSy Pro X operate in parallel fashion. Many companies, whose names shall not be mentioned, have a habit of neglecting theirconsumer level products once they release a more expensive 'pro' level product. Now that GPSy Pro X is out, will you neglect GPSy X TM? We're happy to announce several such strategic allianceswith third party vendors, please see our " third party solutions page".Īnd yes, GPSy TM is pronounced "gypsy" as in the travelling nomads of Europe (who most probably would have traded their crystal balls for a nice twelve-channel parallel GPS unit.).GPSy and GPSy.COM are registered federal trademarks in the United States.GPSy Pro and GPSyLink are trademarks. We are talking with other GIS/Mapping vendors who want a standard GPS interface (such as the current AppleEvent API) so that they don't have to go to the headacheof parsing NMEA sentences themselves and who would like to support the broadestarray of GPS devices possible. GPSy X and GPSy Pro Xshare a standard AppleEvent API allowing other programs to poll or pullGPS data, making it simple to integrate into GIS solutions. In recent releases of GPSyX and GPSy Pro X, we've also added support for various internet map databases such as Google Maps, MapBlast, MapFanWeb (Japan), MapsOnUs, StreetMap (UK), and Census Bureau TIGER.

For data transfers of waypoints, routes, and so forth, we've always supportedthe Garmin protocol and we're happy to announce that the latest GPSy X releases support the Magellan datatransfer protocol as well as Eagle/Lowrance Software Interface (LSI-100) for waypoint transfers.With the Mac OS X version, we've also added support for Bluetooth GPS units that register themselves as serial devices. We support the industry standard NMEA-0183 protocol as well as theNMEA-0182 and the Rockwell NavCore binary protocols and with GPSy X 3.0 we've addedthe Rockwell Zodiac Binary Protocol, Sony IPS Protocol, Trimble (TSIP) Protocol,and Garmin Real Time Protocol. For more info on Pro, see our GPSy Pro X information page.Ĭombined, GPSy X and GPSy Pro Xhave the broadest and most robust GPS support of anysoftware package on any platform. GPSy Pro X adds BSB nautical chart support, higher precision calibrations,better printing and display support. GPSy Pro X TM is the enhanced version of GPSy X and was designed for boaters and people who work withlarge or complex map data.

For a full list offeatures, see our features page. We see GPSy X's role as providing a link between disparate GPS units and GIS/Mapping software onthe Macintosh while also bundling its own suite of GIS/mapping functions suchas scanned maps and various data transfer protocols. GPSy X was designed to be the most compatible GPS program on any platform and we have yet to see software that supports more GPS units communications protocols and map file formats. GPSy X TM is ourGPS communications and mapping software program for the MacOS. Just what are GPSy X TM and GPSy Pro X TM?
