FSWidgets has released a Mac Version of its freeware moving map system powered by Google Maps. GMap for X-Plane (Mac Version) is not a port of the Windows Version, it has been re-built from the ground up in XCode using the native Objective-C language to ensure as tight an integration as possible with the Mac OS X operating system.
It comes in two flavours, an EFB Edition using the EFB-style faceplate image and a Windowed Edition using a standard resizable window. Both editions can be run locally or remotely and the remote mode supports connecting to a copy of X-Plane running on a Windows machine.
GMap is now available to X-Plane users running Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with 10.5 (Leopard) support coming in the next update.
