# plazu

Plazu is a simple GPS Exchange Format (.gpx) viewer for OS X. It uses the

Apple Maps API introduced in Mac OS 10.9. Plazu can currently display tracks

and waypoints and their associated labels.



## MapKit Restrictions

Sadly, Apple doesn't allow developers without a payed Mac Developer Account

to use their MapKit API (or rather the actual map data). The app can be

compiled and executed but no map is shown without a valid entitlement. :(

## Missing Features

Plazu's purpose was mainly to teach me about Object-C and Mac development

in general. Don't expect anything else in terms of code quality or

functionality!

Some features I would work on next if I wasn't too cheap to pay the $100

to renew my Mac Developer Membership:

* Automatically zoom in on the area containing the plotted track

* Track smoothing (i.e. don't just plot and connect waypoints)

* Performance and efficiency improvements

* UI/UX improvements

* Allow to import, store and label .gpx files

## License

copyright headers in those files. It may also contain code snippets from all

over the web.
