I know this is later... I'll check with my dad and see if he could do it. He's not a full time geocacher either but will retire in a year and may do more then...

Any suggestions for ones that do work with Macs? I'm a Mac user and I'm having a hard time trying to find GPS units that DO connect to Macs.

Hi. I have a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. When I plug it into the computer (Macbook Pro) the Garmin shows a symbol that means it recognizes that it's plugged in. My mac however does not show this. It's nowhere to be found on any drive. It's plugged into a USB port. I've been to the Garmin webpages where they list out all their apps/plug ins for Macs and I've downloaded everything pretty much but no success. The communicator plug in doesn't work for me, it still says no GPS device is detected. I have BaseCamp loaded and it seems to be working but the "send to gps" links are faded out (unclickable) because there is seemingly "no device connected". The cable I'm using did not come with the GPS, but I'm hoping that since the GPS recognizes the plug that it will still work. Any suggestions? (if nothing else, are there any GPS units out there that are seamlessly compatible with Macs?)

Is anyone using the GC on a Mac? I need to find a GPS that is easily compatible. Thanks.

On this strand, I am a Mac user and have a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx and I can't for the life of me get the communicator plug in to work. When the website comes up and does its "test" it says it still cannot see the device. The GPS shows that it's plugged in but it doesn't register on the computer as another device. Any help? I feel like I've been downloading Mac apps for three hours to no avail.
