Best GPS application for a Mac
Hi I've got a Garmin 305. While the device is great the application is at best OK. Can you recommend a good application that will work on my Mac or online?

Take a look at Ascent, I've been using it for the last few years and it works great for me.

Another good one I've been messing around with in addition to Ascent is RubiTrack:

Use GarminConnect.com. It is quite good. I also have a Forerunner 305. I use the wireless speed and cadence transmitter. I get all the information I want on the web. The only thing missing is power output.

I'd also look at TrailRunner. I had a hard time deciding between it and Ascent, but I think TrailRunner has better overall workout logging (i.e. it's diaries) and has nice route-planning at the expense of slightly less control over individual workout data graphing/statistics. While RubiTrack has a nice Mac look-n-feel to it, I found the graph-style not as nice as Ascent/TrailRunner and my big complaint with it is that it seems to ignore GSC data in favor of only using the GPS coords, making it unsuitable for use with a trainer.
