Terrabrowser Description

Terrabrowser is an internet browser for satellite photos and topographical maps Terrabrowser is an internet browser for satellite photos and topographical maps which are obtained from the Microsoft Terra Server.The map data is provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and therefore only covers the United States at this time (although expansion to other map servers may occur in the future). Although a GPS receiver is not required to enjoy Terrabrowser, using one opens up more extensive features such as bookmark transfer, and tracklog/route display. Includes extensive bookmarking support, image cache, address search, region download, and many other features! Terrabrowser features built in support* for Garmin GPS receivers, and also supports Magellan receivers when combined with the freeware program MacGPS Babel). Download waypoints from your GPS to display on the maps, edit them, upload new waypoints to your receiver. Terrabrowser aims to be compatible with the rest of the GPS world, so it uses the XML based GPX file standard which allows easy exchange (file, copy/paste) with other GPS programs for Macintosh, Linux, Windows, etc. which support this format. The NMEA standard protocol is also supported* which allows for a "live tracking" mode to display the user's realtime position on a satellite map (cached or not).Main features of Terrabrowser:Three map types: Color satellite maps (large urban areas only)Black and white satellite mapsTopographical mapsMap is draggable with the mouse or controllable via keyboard.Distance calculation option (hold down option and drag).Date of photograph and human readable location information provided (note that dates may be inaccurate since the date is only fetched for one of the map tiles, not all of them).Basic AppleScript support.Ability to save maps to a JPG file.Bookmarking ability for waypointsImage cache maintained on local hard driveCoordinate entry in Degrees Minutes Seconds, Degrees Minutes, Decimal Degrees, or UTM.Search for locations based on zip code or address.Offline browsing mode (uses cache only)Scale barCustomizable toolbarCurrent mouse position read outMany different zoom levelsNMEA Protocol Support development still in progress...Garmin Protocol Support these features are still being developed and are not completewaypoint upload and downloadtracklog and route downloadSupport for GPX: the GPS eXchange Format this is a standard file format which is compatible with many GPS programs.display of waypointsdisplay of routesdisplay of tracklogsAbility to send currently selected waypoints to third party web sites mapquest.comuser defined web site.Waypoint Editing Window edit any fieldadd or delete waypointsfind waypointscopy waypoints and paste them into another window/programPrinting Support.What's New in This Release: Added menu option to open selected waypoint(s) in web browser with Google Maps.
