I use the same setup and MacGPS. Have you found a good source of maps
yet?

Hi Adrian, Lloyd and others
For my boat based whale research, I have been using a great piece
of software called MacGPS Pro that works brilliantly on my laptop
and G5. It is well worth paying the US$50 as you are continually
informed of updates and refinements in the software. It runs very
well in OSX.
I use Garmin GPS units and a Keyspan USB cable (High Speed USB
Serial Adapter
USA-19HS) to interface with the mac, to download track and waypoint
data onto a map. Have a look at the web sites below
http://www.macgpspro.com/
http://www.garmin.com/
http://www.keyspan.com/
I would imagine that bluetooth or wireless capable GPS units would
also work, but I havnt started on them yet!
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Lloyd,
Saw your comments,I am particularly interested in Macs and GPS -
is there
someone out there who is able to impart some wisdom in terms of
how to
interface Macs and GPS? I am in Bunbury but would even consider a
trip or
two to Perth if there was someone who would run a quick tutorial
or even
just point me in the right direction on how to bring these two
technologies
together. Technical I am not so simple stuff is what I am after.

I have read today's SMH review of GPS which rates the TomTom very
highly. I
know nothing of such things but I guess you have to download
software and
upgrade through a computer. I would also like to take one to
Europe so I
guess that also needs a computer download.
Are these things Mac friendly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
