Does Garmin offer Mac versions of Mapsource and City Navigator
for Leopard?
I found a link saying they would have Mac OS X software by the
end of 2006, but that link currently indicates "still waiting...".

[I find Garmin's web site quite annoying to try to find anything
easily].
If they have Mac versions, will Garmin move my Windoze license(s)
to my Mac, and if so, what do I need to do?
Failing all this, is there a good vendor of an Etrex Legend Cx
like hand held, with equivalent of City Navigator, with software
native for Macs?
(no, I'm not going to use Parallels, Boot Camp, VMware or anything
that requires a Micro$oft OS license. I've been looking at Wine, and
that is quite crude, in my opinion, and CodeWeaver's Crossover
doesn't seem to be much better either, by the products that they
support (that I need anyway). I will not be buying any
new Windoze software, and any that I can't move will only be
used once a week or month until I have native Mac replacements and
no longer have to boot the Windoze machine at all).
Thanks, John

I have a Garmin map installer on this Mac. Download it from the
Garmin website.

When I called Garmin support to ask about this last week, I was informed
that there was no Mac compatible software that would allow the use of
any MapSource products.
Maybe they guy I talked to was wrong.
Can you provide a name for the "map installer" or a link to the download?

I googled "garmin mac map installer" and found:

It is very interesting but I don't yet know what to make of it.
I'm hoping a Mac version of Mapsource is part of it.
Thanks, John
