Frequently Asked Questions

We have released the LiNK software for transferring, viewing and exporting data files from the Training Pack versions of the SpeedCoach GPS Model 2, SpeedCoach OC 2, and SpeedCoach SUP 2. 

NK LiNK For OS X   (Size: 12.1 MB)

LiNK Version 1.32 for OS X

This version of LiNK for MAC/OSX is no longer actively supported and requires our Bluetooth dongle to connect which we are no longer providing with each purchase. Instead we would highly recommend using our NK LiNK Logbook app for Android or iOS which does not require any additional accessories.

Note: This program is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.11 or higher.
