Author Could it be true? Garmin and Macintosh
Mike

2005-05-19, 12:22 pm

I was just on the Garmin website and noticed a MapSource tutorial for the
Macintosh. I did note their disclaimer that they currently do not support
Macs but I wonder if this portends things to COME!!! With four garmin units
and three Macs, I have been waiting anxiously for years to have full
mapsource functionality on the Mac.

Garmin - if this happens, I'll be on my knees bowing to the east!

I seriously doubt it. That tutorial's been there for a while; all it is
a Flash-based tutorial on how to use Mapsource for Windows.

You could always run the Windows emulation software and run it on the Mac!

As has been covered many, many times, maybe not.
