This is an announcement that iGPS version 2.1.0 has just been released.
iGPS is an easy-to-use Mac OS X utility for backing up and restoring Garmin GPS waypoints and routes. It works with any Garmin GPS that uses a serial interface.

iGPS version 2.2.0 has been released.
The major new feature is the ability to export waypoints and routes in GPX format so that your GPS data can be used with other navigation software like MacENC.
The official Garmin extensions to GPX specification 1.1 have been implemented and so waypoints exported by iGPS include depth data and waypoint comments.
This makes it easy to get routes from your GPS into MacENC. Use iGPS to backup your GPS data, export the routes in GPX format and import them into MacENC.
I'm a long time user of MacENC and that's the main reason that iGPS was updated to enable GPX exports.
More information is at the iGPS website.
