Discontinued Features

As part of modernizing HoudahGeo, some lesser-used features have not been carried forward to HoudahGeo 7:

• GPS device connectivity – HoudahGeo no longer connects directly to GPS devices. We recommend using a GPS device that supports USB Mass Storage mode, allowing direct access to log files without additional drivers. Alternatively, you can use the device manufacturer's software or the open-source GPSBabel application to download track logs.
• macOS and application compatibility – HoudahGeo now requires macOS 12.4 or later and no longer supports Apple iPhoto or Aperture, which have been replaced by Apple Photos.
• gps4cam support removed – The third-party iPhone application gps4cam was discontinued long ago. HoudahGeo 7 no longer includes direct support for it.
• Flickr direct upload removed – HoudahGeo no longer supports direct uploads to Flickr. However, you can geotag your photos and videos with HoudahGeo and upload them manually using Flickr's web interface.
• Mapbox maps not included – The new map experience in HoudahGeo 7 is built on Apple Maps. Mapbox maps are currently not available.
