Will the GPS feature work when downloading photos to a Mac?

Do you mean will you be able to extract the GPS location information using a Mac - assuming you had the GPS on when you took the photo? The answer is yes, if the software you are using has that capability. iPhoto will do it, for instance.

Yes, Magellan provides a free driver that you can download to your Mac and use to load data to the GPS unit.

It worked without problem for me. You don't have to connect the camera to your computer. I downloaded the file, created a top-level folder "NIKON" and simply copied the downloaded file ("NML_28A.ee") into it. Go to Setup menu -> Location Data -> GPS options -> Update A-GPS data.

I am, at this moment, downloading map update on my Garmin C340 on my Powerbook G4. Takes about an hour doing it online. Anyway, yes, they are now Mac-friendly.

Yes, It works fine. I installed a rs232 driver to use with USB port and It works excellent. I am using EasyGPS program in Win and LoadMyTracks program in Mac.

yes, you can, there is an 8Gb SD card with everyting needed for the dashcam on it. You even can watch the avi files on the mac, but not the gps and other info (i.e. time). Also for firmware updates you wil need a Windows computer.

You might want to check out Ascent from Montbello Software. Mac native and runs circles around Garmin Training Center for the 205/305. I'm using it for my 405, but only after exporting a file in windows from GTC and importing it into Ascent.

If the question is whether the software on the drive is MAC compatible, the answer is NO. I have a Mac and I just use the device as a flash drive with my information in PDF files on the drive.

It will work depending on the mac product and if there are drivers to download for it

It is possible to get GPS data for photos, which I assume has latitude/longitude data. The association is one of the settings in the menu, and as far as I can remember, must be selected to include the data before shooting - it cant be retrieved after the photo(s) are taken. The problems with the GPS feature are that it takes a while for GPS to activate when you turn the camera on, and that that selecting to use GPS drains the battery pretty fast. I would recommend selecting for only one shot in the area you are shooting, and then turning it off... unless having the data is crucial (e.g., for some kind of research project, in which case bring along extra batteries!).

I own the Panasonic zs7 and just did an import. When you ask iPhoto to find the picture on the map (assuming you took it with GPS enabled), it pulls the picture location up immediately. It does not take the liberty of naming the place for you, but the map spot is highly accurate.

Yes I have a mac I can take the video card out and play it on the Mac. It's.mov file. I'm getting ready to by a 2nd one I might get the g so I can have the mph and gps.

It is only the software that neds updating. I know the software for macs are supposed to come out in the fall, but the 405 has been beset by delays. So you can buy one and EVENTUALLY it will be supported by Mac, I just can't tell when by anything I have seen Garmin put out.

Yes, and the pre-installed app "Image Capture" on a Mac sees it right away.

It works perfectly with our MacBook running Mountain Lion. We chose not to install the software that came with the camera as our computer settings open up iPhoto anytime a camera is attached. The wireless works best if you just transfer them to your iPhone and then email or sync when you're back at your computer.

Sorry for late answer. We use our cameras specificly for taking pictures and have never used the GPS feature. Sorry could not be more help.

I believe that the software that comes with the camera has a "MAC" option for installation. The image files that are produced by this camera work in the "MAC" platform.
