Feb 1, 2016 - Some of CompeGPS Land for Mac aliases include 'CompeGPSLand'. The actual developer of this software for Mac is CompeGPS. Our antivirus analysis shows that this Mac download is virus free. CompeGPS Land for Mac relates to Lifestyle Tools.
Interesting software that I just found - especially for Mac users since there is not much GPS software available. Download here. You can register for the free version by just entering your name and e-mail, which I did. It says all the features work for 30 days. The user manual is available here: I only played around briefly with the Mac version. It seemed to open my LIDAR.kmz maps fine (see ) I was not able to get the software working with my Bluetooth Garmin GLO GPS however. This might be a Mac-specific issue, not sure.
Also couldn't get it working with my Montana 600 over USB. Will look into this a little deeper in the future.

But this could be handy software even without GPS capabilities, because it appears to open many GIS file formats. That dialog box was in a foreign language and confused me too. You have to choose the other option at the top of the page (the button on the right, not the default on the left). The default assumes you already have an account with them.
If you click the one on the right, it just asks for your first name, last name and e-mail (all in a foreign language again). You also have to choose one of the options of how you will use it. When I did this, it immediately unlocked the program, it did not send me any e-mail or anything.
Click to expand.To me, what stood out about this software is all the file formats it can use. Not many (if any) other Mac programs that can open things like Shapefiles. However, I didn't look very closely at the difference between the paid and free version. It's hard to tell since everything will work for 30 days on the free versions. You should check this out if you plan to really use this software (or else get all your work done in 30 days ) because it costs 90 euros to purchase the full version. Of course, the way things are going with the Euro, 30 days from now it might be pretty cheap. Click to expand.Well I lied.
Did some more reading and learned that I can use the Mac program to send my maps to the iOS TwoNav app (they also have an Android app). They have a free and paid version of this app, and (like everything else about their software) I'm still confused about the differences. Will skip the details, but after a bit of screwing around I was able to send a smaller test version of 'LIDAR in the Pines' to the app running on my iPhone. I ended up buying the full version, since it was only $6, not sure if that was absolutely necessary (although it has a lot of nice configuration features). Anyway, the interesting thing here is that I.think. I can offer a version of LIDAR in the Pines that will run in TwoNav on your iOS or Android device.
Need to do a lot more tests, but I.think. such a map wouldn't have the limitation of the Garmin Custom maps. In other words, you could load all of the Pines on your phone or tablet and also get a much higher quality display. This.might. work on the free app without purchasing anything. Or you might have to buy the $6 app. I also.think.
you can transfer the map from your computer to the phone using a free FTP client on Mac or Windows without buying or installing the CompeGPS program. But all of this needs more study. Will post more about this later, as time permits. Will also post to my thread about LIDAR satellite imagery. Here's a screenshot of my first test in the TwoNav app on my iPhone 5s.
