myTracks for Pc

I use this program to tag photos after hikes or other outdoor activites in conjunction with a GPS watch (Garmin 405). Basically you import the GPS file in GPX format and then drag the photos from iPhoto. There are a few easy steps and seconds later all of your photos are tagged to the exact location that they were taken from. The main trick is to keep your watch and camera clocks set at the exact same time. If you don't do this you have to go in and adjust the time stamps which is annoying. For city pics I use an eye-fi card. This program gives great results at a good price. Highly recommended.

EDIT: Please update the app for El Capitan. The app has evolved since I first purchased it in 2011. I love the iCloud integration—now tracks and pictures sync across devices. Thanks! As I have noted in my review for the iOS version, my biggest wish is that the app would sync the POIs to iCloud/iOS. Currently I have to use an additional GPS app on my iOS devices to sync POIs. Also, I recently started messing around with the tagging options for the tracks, but I am not sure there is any purpose to them as I do not see a search bar where I could quickly find a track via a tag. It seems this could be implemented given such functionality exists for POIs. My final recomendations pertain to the user interface. As is, the app is great and completely functioning piece of software. However, it could also use a cosmetic refresh to make it more ‘Apple’ like. By that I mean with more viewing options that are ‘softer’ on the eyes than a simple grid-list of tracks (see new Photos app or Rubitrack for Mac as examples). Relatedly, there should be more typical Mac shortcuts for consistency, such as Command-I. As is, hitting Command-I when a track or POI is selected opens up Finder to Open a file where it should bring up information and fields for edting about the track or POI (similar to iTunes or most other Mac programs). Again, thanks for the good work you have put into this app. I hope it continues to receive support.

I bought this app and I also downloaded the iPhone app from iTunes store. Together they are the perfect companions to add GPS data to my photos. You can also use this software, if you already use a GPS logger, since it can automatically synchronize with a lot of devices. This is a very useful and powerful application, which definietly made my life easier and saved me a lot of time. It is easy to use, even for me as a not very skillful user. Thank you for this great app!

…when it comes to the GPS hardware now in existence and what the program supports. Sad really because it looks like the most logically designed GPS software out there. I had been trying to work with the author for a few weeks/months to get my GPS logger to work with the app, no luck and the author was of little help in the end. I have a popular logger and this app does not support it. When I spoke to the author about about any possible recourse he simply stopped contacting me. I prompted him again and finally he came back with a lackluster response saying that the app store wouldnt offer me a refund. I thought I might just buy a different GPS and the one I settled on is not supported by the app either. So, unless there are substantial updates, id say you might want to talk to Dirk Stichling (the Author) before purchasing, or just avoid the app entirely.
