Default Overland Navigator

I've received a bunch of PMs and emails asking if there was a demo version or a demo video of Overland Navigator. I put together a short video yesterday that will hopefully help.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or suggestions. We'd love to hear from you.

Are there any plans for Mac software in the future?

Still? I tried using the phpBB [youtube][/youtube] tag but it doesn't seem to be supported here. I edited the post to be a regular link. Hopefully it is showing up that way now.

Not currently. We love the the Mac, and the more requests we get for a port the more likely we are to do so.

While we probably wouldn't support it, I'd love to know if it runs under WINE (Windows Emulation) on the Mac and on a Linux box.

no reason it shouldn't. we use to run Arc on our macs in virtual win, it ran better than on our one Windows PC!

I like the automatic loading of GPS tracks from memory cards.

Is this configurable so that you can tell Overland Navigator to automatically check for new new tracks in say "c:\downloaded_tracks,d:\,e:\" or something of that nature?

Do all the tracks end up displayed in the same colour? Just thinking that different colours for different sources (e.g. d: vs e: ) may be a nice touch.

Very cool software!
