Architecture

RouteBuddy for Mac is a 64-bit Cocoa application, and uses Apple's advanced technologies such as CoreLocation and CoreAnimation to provide a fluid user interface that uses some of the latest features available in Mac OS X.
RouteBuddy for Windows uses technologies such as LocationServices or Taskbar progress animations to take full advantage of the latest features in Windows 7.
Whilst both versions are backwards compatible with previous OS versions, Mac OS X (Leopard and Snow Leopard) and Windows (XP and Vista) we have put our support behind the new and emerging geospatial technologies from both Apple and Windows. RouteBuddy, as cross-platform digital map software, now offers power and features beyond any other competitor in the global market-place.

Features

From being the leading digital map application on Mac OS X, we now bring the same features, power and flexibility to millions of Windows users. Although RouteBuddy is now global, multi-platform, digital map software we do acknowledge that there are several existing applications on the Windows platform that, congenitally, suffer from overriding feature-bloat, as well as suspended development; Whilst RouteBuddy's customers on Mac and Windows can now enjoy the power and flexibility inherent in our software, which extends beyond what these traditional programs can offer, our development is dynamic, and we will be bringing carefully thought-out, and useful, new features to both platforms, and at the same time on both.
