Welcome to RouteBuddy

RouteBuddy is the first multi-platform GPS enabled multiple mapping application for Windows and Mac OS 

The free version of RouteBuddy provides:

• Plug-and-play GPS support with vector and raster maps (road and topo)
• Route planner for routes both on road and on the trail
• The ability to import files from your GPS devices
• View road, topo and satellite imagery in the same window
• View your waypoints, routes and tracks on road, topo or satellite imagery
• View detailed route and track data
• The ability to layer road, topo and aerial maps and view user added data on the top layer map
  All RouteBuddy digital maps use the WGS84 datum therefore roads and features will be synchronised on all map layers

New to RouteBuddy?

If you're new to RouteBuddy we suggest you get started by working your way through the different sections of this manual to understand the components of the RouteBuddy Window and the features they provide.

The first step is to Install and Licence your RouteBuddy products

We then suggest you familiarise yourself with the RouteBuddy Window followed by the How to... section which provides a good reference guide on use of the RouteBuddy features.

However, for those of you just itching to get going, we have added a simple Get Started section after Installation and Licensing, but please do not rely on this being the complete guide!

We have tried to make this manual as clear and concise as possible, but if you should have any more questions about RouteBuddy which you cannot find the answers to here, then please contact us at support@routebuddy.com or refer to our forum where someone else may have asked the same question.
