Bluetooth GPS Receiver + MacBook. Any software?

I just purchased a BT2 Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Is there a software for Mac OS X that I could use to receive live tracking on my MacBook, instead of a PDA?

Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I am also interested in setting up the Macbook with a bluetooth GPS receiver for use in the car or when sailing.

So far I have searched around but haven't found any software with offline maps included.

The best solution (and cheapest) so far I have found is to use Google Earth and increase its cache size. Then I guess you can run the route beforehand so the roads and images are stored offline ready for use.

Is there a standalone package with roadmaps (for the UK/Europe) built in for offline use?

This must also be able to connect to a the bluetooth GPS receiver. Has anyone got any recommendations for these too?

Thanks,
Neil
