So in the end, it's $150-$170 for an application plus US or North America maps compared to what Garmin is offering for free. This is with the latest (2008-04) maps as well. I mapped my parents house in Scottsdale, AZ and it came back with a City address of "Deer Valley." Though it put the house in the right location! This is not directly a RB problem, but because it's the maps they use, it certainly affects them.

I don't want to have to trawl through and do everything twice.Īlso, the map info they use, while good, has some inaccuracies. stuff should be written out instantly to avoid this. One of the big pains with this, that I've found, is that if you find and "save" a bunch of waypoints, but then RouteBuddy crashes, you lose everything you've done since the last time you quit the application. I have had a couple crashes with the app, mostly when moving around and scrolling in/out. though the lack of any Topo maps for it is a bit limiting. And RouteBuddy makes that fairly straightforward. What I want, really, is to put in some waypoints for places I want to visit, or to hike to. In 2 days of use, I've found it much nicer to use than Garmin's Bobcat software, which seems _so_ focused on showing my waypoints for the local gas stations and McDonald's. RouteBuddy is a very "Mac-like" GPS application for the Mac, and I have been able to successfully create waypoints and routes and upload them to my Garmin devices (Nuvi 660 and Oregon 400t, neither of which are "officially" supported, but both of which work with the device).

Unfortunately, functionality is lacking even now. Also, its interface was quite appealing at the time of purchase. That is a shame - both because of private, nostalgic value (I bought the version 1.x to route My first serious bicycle tour I embarked on in 2007 that I miss sorely, in the most eventful, inspiring and memorable year of My life to date), as well because if polished properly and enriched with features, the app would really shine. With all that said, I do believe the app still holds promise (not at the current rate of progress!), although I imagine that since most people rely on Apple / Google Maps instead (and would hardly need RouteBuddy), there, it appears, is no incentive for the developer to continue developing the app. …I could go on and on, but I must admit that the customer support reacted quickly when I complained about the speed and crashes. …RouteBuddy Atlas is fairly useless: has a poor interface, very limited set of features, etc. search / look-up property is perfectly useless. …had to re-purchase maps, as the old ones were no longer supported. …I can't conceive a difference between the version 1.2.1 I bought back in early April 2007 - and the version 4.2.1 I paid for in years later.

…he license isn't particularly affordable. …no shortcuts to delve into entry properties (i.e., 'Command-I") - it's right-click -only. …the waypoints properties don't shows the creation date and other metadata: only metadata manually assigned to the file. …and yet the app loads considerably slower than does Google Maps.

…the Satellite View (or even Map View) magnification is more limited than, say, Google Map's …stores imported files in a DB3 database (rather than in the original format (which means, losing the originals may mean losing the files indefinitely, especially once RouteBuddy support is discontinued).
