Terrabrowser Alpha

A new alpha release of Terrabrowser 1.5 should be released in the next few days. Most importantly, the map now remains centered (not almost centered) on the master location and is now draggable with the mouse rather than forcing you to use the arrow keys or toolbar buttons! This was a very frequently requested feature. Other new features added include a scale bar, beginnings of basic AppleScript support, and a download region feature.

Terrabrowser Color Urban Maps

Color urban area maps have been added for San Francisco and Los Angeles! Check them out with Cocoa Terrabrowser alpha 5. The Golden Gate Bridge is located at (37.81123, -122,47701).

Cocoa Terrabrowser alpha 5 is now available.  This version adds a super zoom feature - you can now zoom in twice as far on color urban area maps - this is far enough to see people playing tennis! (41.785079, -87.996685)Built in internet update checking (under the Terrabrowser menu) is now working correctly, so use this feature to make sure you have the most up to date alpha.

Cocoa Terrabrowser Alpha 3

Cocoa Terrabrowser alpha 3 is now available. This version changes the latitude and longitude fields in the toolbar to follow the user's preference of decimal degrees, degrees minutes, or degrees minutes seconds. It also adds support for color satellite images of urban areas. 

New cites are being added to the Terraserver - currently it includes Chicago, St. Louis, Portland, Seattle, Dallas-Ft Worth, Houston, Saginaw, El Paso, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Lincoln, Sacramento, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Modesto. They plan to add 133 cities by year's end. You should still use MacGPSBabel to download your waypoints and tracklogs from Garmin and Magellan receivers.

Cocoa Terrabrowser

Released first version of the new Cocoa Terrabrowser, Terrabrowser 1.5 alpha 1. This version does not support printing, and GPS support is not complete. Use MacGPSBabel to download your waypoints and tracklogs from Garmin and Magellan receivers.

FAQ & Babel

Added an FAQ page which answers a few common questions we receive. Also came across an open source program called MacGPSBabel which supports downloading of waypoints and tracklogs from Garmin and Magellan GPS receivers. You can use this program to create a GPX file which can be used in Terrabrowser.

Cocoa Terrabrowser Milestone

Most of the serial capabilities such as full NMEA support and a subset of the Garmin protocol have been completed. Cocoa version can now download waypoints and track logs (a highly requested feature) - route support coming soon.
