me too. I am tempted to just get an iphone and use View Ti Golf. I do know that Golf Caddie's are now OS X compatible, but I hate the subscription fees.

Subscription fees (esp annual ones) will soon be a thing of the past. Golf Buddy, Golf Guru, Approach 5, uPro, Sonocaddie do not have annual fees.

Time for an authoritative answer: on Yosemite, the touch screen works, but ONLY single-touch. That makes the monitor kinda-useless for most touch-screen purposes, since you can't do two finger scroll or pinch-to-zoom, while the scroll-bar is microscopic. Surprisingly, there is no good, inexpensive multi-touch screen driver for the Mac. There is a nasty looking driver from touch-base for $150, and there are a couple of github projects that you could try compiling from source. I tested none of these - they could work, they might not.

I'm sorry I'm not the person to ask...have not had good luck with this gps. Geo site still doesn't recognize this gps. Have not been able to use it since it was given to me as a gift (almost one year). Help line is useless. Again sorry, hope you have better luck.

I've had the 9500ix for about a year now. First one I've owned with GPS. The memory feature works good, and is constantly updated on my Mac. I have had very little issue with false alarms. This thing sees around corners surprisingly well. Haven't tried the max yet. Saved me some money between Phoenix and Flagstaff.

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.

Inside, a gps works shotty at best, this unit is no different. You could give it a try but the unit is supposed to have a view of the sky.Another problem you will find is the range, the directions say 200' away at a minimum and I have found that to be true.

I don't understand the question, but the Oregon GPS has a touch screen that works very well.

Yes, that is what I ended up using. I would avoid this device. It needs a lot of upgrades. You need wifi in order to use Google Maps. My android phone worked way better. The screen resolution sucks as well. Garmin support was completely worthless. It took three phone calls before they told me that it does not interface with apple. I would STRONGLY recommend staying away from this device until serious upgrades are made. I'll sell you my device if would want it that bad. It is WORTHLESS!

I had the RM7720 and returned it 2 days later. The touch screen did not work properly even after calibration, and I was not happy with it. The Garmin RV is great. It works perfect, and I like the smart phone link for weather.

I am going to Italy and bought the 1370T. I planned to use in pedestrian mode as well as for driving. I've tested it several times in pedestrian mode in a couple of different locations and it failed every time. Sent me in the opposite direction, missed turns, and doesn't recalculate on it's own. You have to go back to the main screen and do it manually. I don't know - maybe I got a lemon. I'm leaving in less than 2 weeks. I'll either return it and try another unit or hope it works better in driving mode. I was looking at the Tom Tom XLL, which also has European maps preloaded, but it gets mixed reviews as well.

I've been told that gps guru is going to have a working site soon. I've been waiting for 2 months, as of this time there is no support site and no way of contacting the company gps guru4 directly, as was the case when I bought my unit 3 years ago.

I found a GARMIN GPS III PLUS (can be found on AMAZON usually used but sometimes someone has a new one) to be perfect on my quad. It provides features not found in combination on any GPS currently in production that I have found. I won't go thru all the features here as there are so many, but for me, it provides everything I could want in exploring remote areas of AZ except a gas gauge for the quad! Mine is clamped to the handlebars and runs off vehicle power so no battery life problems. Check one out and save yourself a lot of money while getting the capabilities a new one can't provide.

Not very well with iOS 8 versions, I have 8.4 which is supposed to fix GPS lock issues but it still constantly loses lock with any mapping app (the Dual 160 app shows it has good GPS lock). Not sure if it is the Apple interface or Dual's, but this is definitely going to disappoint if you are trying to use it for any flight or driving applications.

I bought a TomTom XXL 540TM 5 Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator in 2011 and it did have this feature if I remember correctly. It quit working when I tried to do a map update so I can't double check for you but I remember using this feature.

Yes, there are no problems using that Garmin model with the Mac OS. No problems with the functionality of registration , updating software, etc. We are running 10.9.3 on a 3.5 GHz Intel iMac

Sorry Norman, I should have stated that the LATEST version of home does not play well with mac's. To TomRomMac, yes, Garmin does talk mac.
