Avenue is now ready for macOS 26 Tahoe! Minor bug fixes and visual adaptations for the latest OS is now available in this update. Unfortunately Quick Look extensions still does not work properly, as the macOS bug remains unfixed. Wikimedia maps has also been removed, as Wikimedia no longer allows third party developers to use their map tiles. On the bright side, we have a new icon now, designed to fit the macOS Tahoe experience! Thanks for using Avenue for the past many years!
This release contains just a minor fix to prevent Quick Look from creating thumbnails for non-GPX files, such as XML files. It has been observed that XML files (which GPX files are based on) would sometimes show up with a blank, light blue, Quick Look-powered thumbnail, which shouldn’t happen. Other than that, the release carries all other features of the previous update. Thanks for your support in Avenue as always!
Route support is now available. In this release, - Files with routes and route points are now supported in the same way as tracks. - Files now have a nice icon, rather than the generic text document-like icon. - macOS 10.15 and above users gets Quick Look thumbnails support. (.GPX file's icon will render with a map with the file contents, as icon, rather than static icon) - Quick Look bug fixes for waypoint-only files, etc. - Direction arrows can now be enabled in Settings. It is a feature that shows arrows pointing towards the direction which the track path is showing. - Date and time hover can now be enabled in Settings, if cursor coordinates mode is enabled. This will allow you to see the time of which the particular track/route point was recorded. It will appear when your cursor is hovering roughly 60m or less from the point. Do note that, due to the latest deployment requirements, macOS 10.12 is no longer support by Avenue GPX Viewer. If you need assistance for macOS 10.12 usage for whatever reasons, please do feel free to drop an issue on GitHub (click in app, Help menu > "File an issue", will bring you there). Quite a couple of features in this release, are suggested by users of the app! Feel free to suggest and report any features of the app over at GitHub! (click in app, Help menu > "File an issue", will bring you there) Thank you all for your support and contribution to the Avenue GPX Viewer project! Enjoy the new release!
Feature release time! In this release of Avenue, - The map, along with the GPX tracks and waypoints can be printed or exported as PDF. You may choose the paper, map resolution and other options in the Page Setup menu for this feature, before printing. - There is now a new preference option that allows you to select distance calculations in show in meters, miles or nautical miles. (App only; behaviour is still the same as before for Quick Look) - There is now a file icon at the far left side of the toolbar that can be double clicked to view the enclosing folder in Finder. This icon may also be drag and drop to quickly copy the currently opened file, out to anywhere you like. - There is now another new preference option that allows you to enable a new mode that shows the cursor’s location as the coordinates of the map which it is pointing to. - Users can now do cmd+c to copy the coordinates which the cursor is currently pointed to. (Format is decimal degrees, “latitude, longitude”). - Maps now take into account waypoints when loading file. This means that files that contained only waypoints can also be viewed correctly on launch, as the map will auto-position correctly. - Updated dependencies which Avenue relies on, should fix a crash on launch for specific scenarios. - Fixes for other miscellaneous bugs. This update is a pretty big one, consisting of quite a couple of features suggested by users! I hope you enjoy using Avenue GPX Viewer, even more than before, with these improvements, and thank you all very much for the support throughout these years!

Happy Holidays! Avenue now has a brand new Quick Look extension that allows you to quickly glance at your .GPX files using Quick Look, or via a Spotlight search. Its icon has also been tweaked slightly, such that it blends in better in macOS Big Sur. As always, thank you very much for your support in Avenue GPX Viewer, and see you next year! Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!
It’s macOS Big Sur + Apple Silicon Update time! Avenue GPX Viewer is now updated as a universal binary (Intel/Apple Silicon), so that you can run Avenue at full speed on your latest Macs! With that, Avenue welcomes a new icon, completely redesigned, to blend into the Big Sur experience. As always, thanks for supporting Avenue GPX Viewer! I hope you will enjoy this release as much as prior releases.
In this release, Avenue is updated with the latest internal open sourced libraries for rendering map tiles, etc. (merlos/MapCache) Previously, when the map tile servers does not support a certain zoom level, the tiles presented to you would simply be empty. Now, when that happens, the tiles for the maximum zoom level will be enlarged and presented, which I personally think is a better user experience overall. Thanks for using Avenue and I hope you enjoy using it! Please leave a positive review if you enjoy using Avenue!
