SatSYNC for Mac

Mac users have a different version of SatSYNC. This will need to be used in conjunction with the File Converter application. Both applications therefore will need to be installed on your Mac.

SatSYNC for Mac should be used to transfer .map files and Raw.gpx from the device to the Mac. Once the files are on the Mac, the File Converter should be used to convert .map files to third-party formats so that these files can be viewed in Google Earth or other mapping applications. Use the File Converter to convert third party file formats to the .map format and then use SatSYNC to transfer the .map files to the device.
