Thanks!

Lowrance has posted a bit of info: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Outdoors/

The new updates for the nuvi 2x5, nuvi 2x5W and nuvi 7x5 enable ecoRoute. Also a few other things. Anyone brave enough to check it out?

Garmin has some information here: http://www8.garmin.com/outdoor/geocaching/ and has also made it pretty easy to load caches directly to your Legend from geocaching.com if you install their communication plugin, http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/

In your user directory, look for: Library > Preferences > com.garmin.RoadTrip.plist

For those who had noticed that Mac OS X 10.5.6 killed the Garmin WebUpdater, there is now a new version: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3699 Changes made from version 2.0.4 to 2.0.5: Updated to work with OS 10.5.6

It should be noted that the /perry/chipset_firmware directory was put there at 1XL-on-XR650L's encouragement and some of the files were provided by him. I had previously collected several of the update files, but not any for the Vista HCx chipset. Allory (perry archive curator)

This link is actually to an original grey-scale Vista. $136 isn't really a bargain for that model.

Has now been bumped to 2.80 Changes made from version 2.70 to 2.80: * Fixed 3D view not displaying * Fixed shaded relief being set to 'Do Not Show' * Fixed shaded relief being set to 'Do Not Show' http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4051

Of possible significance: Added support for raster maps http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4249

In the pre-H version the Venture Cx did do auto routing. It was a great little unit and is still my every-day carry.

Not a clue what has changed, or even what units it works on, but its available via the WebUpdater. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3601 edit: I've tried the eTrex Vista HCx and the nuvi 760

MacGPSPro claims to run on Mac OS 10.2.8 or later. http://www.macgpspro.com/

When sending user data to the unit from RoadTrip you are given the option to send maps associated with the user data. * Improved map drawing. * Fixed several map compatibility issues, which was causing maps to not be found. * Fixed issue where maps would not be found on case-sensitive volumes. * Fixed issue where streets weren't labeled in when running in Mac OS 10. * Fixed some USB issues that could cause transfer issues. * Added ability to resize the window. * Fixed non-NT maps failing to build or building incorrectly. * Fixed Japanese address data being lost during transfer. * Added auto update feature in the release version.

A 1.5x2.2 screen is pretty close to 2.6 diagonal, but other than that I have no idea what they're talking about.

Not that it will help reduce the confusion much, but Garmin has posted the first software update for the Oregon. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4051

Pretty much the same in the mac world. Right-click on the file, or control-click if you have a one button mouse. Choose 'open with', select Bobcat if it shows in the list. Choose 'other' if Bobcat doesn't show, then navigate to and select Bobcat. To make Bobcat the default for .gpx files right-click on a file and choose 'get info'. Go through the same process as above and then choose 'Change All' under the text which says 'Use this application to open all documents like this'.

Welcome to Texas! Too late, this afternoon it thinks its in Seattle.

My iPod Touch, however, locates me in a Dallas, TX suburb while I'm sitting in my office in Laramie, WY. There seem to be some problems with location by wi-fi triangulation.

http://www8.garmin.com/macosx/ Both Topo 2008 and City Nav NT will allow you to install directly to the Mac if you get the right disk. Bobcat and MapInstall will get you through just about everything you need after that. They are still in beta, but improving with each generation.

Bobcat will let you look at the maps on your mac. MapInstall will let you put them on your Garmin (USB only) http://www8.garmin.com/macosx/

duplicate post. sorry

I have also noticed that, but have only had the 760 a few days and was using a home made TourGuide file so had not yet determined where the problem really was. In my case I'm also missing the jpg attached to the POI. Has anyone else experienced that, or is it perhaps a formatting problem with my file. The file works fine on a 660 and the jpg show fine there.

I initially had that problem also, but solved it with help from the Garmin Bobcat beta team. My memory is that the solution was to delete Users > 'username' > Library > Preferences > com.garmin.Bobcat.plist
