Tracking Options

General

If you wish to Track your route in RouteBuddy, you will need to be connected to a suitable GPS receiver either via USB or Bluetooth. RouteBuddy is compatible with many Garmin, Tom Tom and USGlobalSat receivers, plus many others that communicate over the NMEA protocol standard. If you would like us to offer greater support for your GPS device please click here.
