I've found that there is really no great solution for Mac users who own a GPSr with USB (like a Vista C for example). You can use the GarminUSB Tool (freeware available at www.versiontracker.com) to download waypoints, tracks and routes, but you can only upload tracks. I don't mean to sound unappreciative - I'm grateful for anything written for the Mac.
But nothing, and I mean nothing, seems to be useful for uploading map data to a Garmin USB GPSr from a Mac. (I would LOVE to be corrected on this if someone has found a solution.) Garmin simply doesn't support Mac users, so we're out of luck on that particular point. You either have to borrow a friend's PC to upload map data, or you have to keep an ugly-stepchild windoze machine around.

Unfortunately, MacSimpleGPS doesn't support USB.
