Welcome to the GPSMaster page!

GPSMaster is gps mapping software that runs under Windows on a PC and is able to communicate (serial or USB) with any Garmin GPS. You can download all the desired data from your GPS, edit it, save it, view it, print it, upload it. When you use your GPS regularly GPSMaster is a must have!

GPSMaster is ideal for pilots, sailors, cyclists, hikers, basically anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. When you go on holiday to a place you've never been before, just get yourself a map of the particular area, scan it, load it into GPSMaster, calibrate it and you're ready to go. You can create waypoints, routes and tracks based on your scanned map and send them to your GPS.

Want to zoom in/zoom out/rotate your scene? Because GPSMaster works with OpenGL (to make use of your high speed graphics card) this can all be done in very high speed. No more waiting for a 200% zoom, just scroll the mousewheel and zooming is instant.

Are you a pilot? Take your GPS with you on your flight and afterwards download the track from your flight, switch GPSMaster to 3D view and see your track in 3D! This is also a great feature for climbers/skiers! You can see all details about your track in a number of graphs displaying altitude, speed and rate of climb/sink (vertcial speed).

Do you have a (scanned) map with coordinates that are not in WGS84 map datum? No problem! Switch to the correct map datum (GPSMaster knows 221 map datums and offers the ability to create a user map datum) and your coordinates match!

Do you want to see distances/altitude in meters? Feet? Statute or nautical miles? Kilometers? GPSMaster knows them all.

Want to know what the distance between to points is (eg leg of a route) according to great circle navigation (shortest distance) or in Rhumbline (or loxodrome) navigation (same course along the entire leg)? GPSMaster knows them both.

GPSMaster is a highly versatile program for outdoor enthousiasts. Whether you're a pilot or a backpacker. Whether you enjoy skiing or cycling. GPSMaster offers the functionality you need.

GPSMaster also supports NMEA0183. Just select the NMEA0183 sentences you're interested in and see all the information you need: position, speed, altitude, cross track error, satellite visibility and many more.

Why should you use GPSMaster instead of any of the many other GPS programs available? Simply because GPSMaster has all the functionality you need and it has a very intuitive user interface and... it offers 3D viewing (and a lot more).

Just download the program and see for yourself! It's free!
