MAC Compatible GPS Can someone recommend a good GPS that works with Apple's operating system?

Thanks Marc, I am not a good map reader and would like to use a gps device and a map to educate myself. Would you recommend the CSx for me.

I just bought a Garmin 60CSx, downoaded all of Garmin's Mac software from their website, and bought the Mac-compatible maps (as well as loading some of the free topos available) and, other than a few minor glitches, it's been great.I have an Intel iMac.

I use my Garmin Oregon 400t and Garmin Forerunner 305 on my MacBook Pro. I had a hard time managing and transferring data with my Magellan Triton 500 and 400. You might want to stick with Garmin for now if you're a Mac user until they fix the problem.

I would say it would be a good unit, since maps can be loaded on to it (not all GPS units can download maps). I'm not sure it would help you learn to read a map, but it'll help you find specific destinations.

I also use a Mac an older Quicksilver Tower running 10.4.11 and have the Garmin Map 60CSx. I use it with the software I downloaded from Garmin. I have converted my older PC only maps on my old PC using Garmins software and loaded them to my Mac and they work as they always did. Lee L.

I believe TrainingPeaks WKO+ will do this. The Garmin 910xt is on the supported list.

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.

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.

I think you're better off buying one that specifically states Mac compatibility such as the Kinivo BTD-300. I had this IOGear one on my Mac and it did work for a time, but then just stopped working, not sure why.

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

Yes, the SB-100 PRO Universal Time Clock is Mac compatible as well. For MAC compatibility, be sure to use the Network option that the time clock includes and supports.

I am having no problem using a MacBook Pro running 10.4.10 with a Garmin Streetpilot i5. Garmin does offer Mac compatible software. Hoosierjay

I use Apogee Duet with LOGIC on my Mac, but you should check on Apogee's website to make sure, but if so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Nope- I learned the hard way that the drivers aren't Mac friendly. Check out Monoprice tablets - they work well for either.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Garmin says it is, but I have no idea - I never used mine. I'd check it out before you buy. They didn't mention in their documentation (that I could find) that it's not compatible with mac os 10.6.8. Once I found that out I didn't go any further. Put it back in the box and sent it back.

I use a Mac and the software works fine for me. It is not the end all in software but for what I needed it was fine.

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

I use a Macbook Air 11" but they do have updated drivers for Mac. Check if your OS version is supported here: http://www.j5create.com/support.html#dockingstations

Yes. Just be sure to set the GPS unit to the 'Log' setting. Canon provides a MapUtility that you use to download the GPS log. On macs, there is the ability to export the logs to Google Earth
