Just because Garmin
advertises a Mac interface, that doesn't mean it works. (You'll
probably have to buy another cable, as well).


I have three Garmin GPS' in my household, the GPS 60CX, the Nuvi 255W,
and my daughter has an Etrex model (actually a fourth one-my old
garmin resides somewhere in the basement).

The new Mac interface works with all three as advertised for
downloading from the Garmin site without the need for another cable.
The bigger problem I had before this interface software became
available was getting the windows shell to recognize the usb interface
for the GPS 6OCX and the Etrex, both of which are no longer an issue
since Garmin updated their software.


That's good news for Mac users. Thanks for the update.
