Garmin and Mac
Garmin and Mac
I bought a new Macbook for school and I'm wanting to put Mapsource and 08 Topo maps on it. Does anyone experience with it? I'm having trouble getting it loaded up.

Re: Garmin and Mac
So far as I know, Garmin does not make a MapSource version for any OS other than Windows.
If that is still the case, you may want to look into emulator / dual boot software so that your Mac can run Windows. (I know, not a great solution. And not cheap.)
I have used other GPS software tools to create routes, view tracks, etc. but don't know of any of them that allow you to upload to a Garmin unit. Of course I haven't tried to do that.
Post back here if you find a solution, as others certainly face the same difficulty.

Re: Garmin and Mac
I don't have MACs but I do have a ZUMO and thought I had seen posts about mapsource on a MAC. Something about Bobcat? Anyway there is a specific forum called "Zumo and the Macintosh" http://www.zumoforums.com/index.php?board=35.0
Good Luck!

Re: Garmin and Mac
I have the same issue... however I also have an older Mac. The new machines will allow you to install Windows XP and thus you can boot up in XP or the Mac OS. There is also a program called boot camp that will allow you to run windows www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
I haven't had enough free time to look into this more and will be interested to see what you find out.
