Last week I responded on a back channel to a fellow that asked about Mac/GPS compatibility. Anyway, there is a site that shows how to use "Virtual PC" software that allows you to run Windows programs on your Mac. The advantage is you can use Garmins (and maybe other brands) with Garmins map software which is only for PC's. There is some good Mac mapping software out there but I personally have not used it, although I dod prefer Macs in general. The site is: http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gps_vpc.html Regards, Bob .......................................................... Robert Brubaker "Hitch your wagon to a star."

>> Does anyone know of a GPS that interfaces with a Macintosh rather than a Windoze computer? >> Any GPS that can interface with a PC can interface with a Macintosh. The only differences are in the software and connecting cable you use. For Macintosh GPS software see the GPSy Web site at http://www.gpsy.com/, which has a list of competing programs at http://www.gpsy.com/gpsinfo/software.html. For a Mac-to-Garmin computer cable see Blue Hills Innovations at http://www.blue-hills-innovations.com/blmstr.htm. Jody Russell, who has a Macintosh and an Etrex, might have more information.

GPSY 4.0 is supposed to be Mac OSX native. I ordered it as soon as they announced it, but haven't received it yet so I assume it hasn't been released yet. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Flory, San Jose, CA. daflory_at_pacbell.net Go Sea Kayaking!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speak softly and study Aikido, then you won't need a big stick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
