DavidEBSmith Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Garmin Announces GPS Product Support for Mac OS X By the end of 2006, Garmin intends to have made all its popular hardware and software applications Mac OS X compatible. This includes the ability to load MapSource map data to Garmin units via a Mac, as well as waypoint and trip planning applications. Additionally, the Garmin nRoute application will allow Powerbook and iBook users to turn their laptop into a powerful street navigation tool with Garmin’s GPS 10 or GPS 18 sensors. Link to comment
David Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Ooh. That's a beautiful thing. And on the same day that Apple announces their new Intel-based PowerBook! Link to comment
ghaverkamp Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 And on the same day that Apple announces their new Intel-based PowerBook! No more Power in the name. Hope they used Cocoa and Xcode. Link to comment
UberXY Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Now I won't have to borrow my kids PC everytime I want to add stuff to my 376. Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 HALLELUJAH!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! HAL . . . LE . . LU . . . JAH!!!! Now I can finally throw away that big grey box taking up valuable real estate on the desk in the guest room as it serves no other useful purpose I can figure out! Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hooray!!!! Hooray!!! I just wish they'd get Mapsource out quicker. I'm on the verge of buying a new Windoze PC for the sole purpose of GPS stuff, and I'd really like to avoid it if possible. Link to comment
velomoto Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Finally, a compelling reason to upgrade my OS X from 10.3 to 10.4. Can hardly wait to see how much I'll get to pay for the OS X version Greg Link to comment
sgendler Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 why'd they wait until we no longer need it to bother supporting it? We'll all just be able to run their software inside VMWare on an intel mac, anyway. We've been begging for years, and now that it is no longer terribly urgent, they finally come through? Their attitude already pretty much put me off the whole Garmin experience, anyway. --sam Link to comment
