I had to return my 60csx for defective compass when relatively new. Works ok now though.

Garmin had promised Mac support by Christmas 06 since their usb drivers do not work with Mac even with Virtual PC Windows on Mac. But just got this reply from Garmin:
" To follow up, as far as I know, corporate is planning on making a
statement on this support. I know this much, Garmin will be supporting our
Fitness devices and its software on the Mac Platform very soon; Spring '07
at the latest. At this time, we will be announcing a forecast on when our
Outdoor and Automotive units will be available to interface with Mac, and I
hoping it will not take the full '07 fiscal year. I am hoping late spring
at the latest."

Thank. I will see if I can figure out how to set my Streetpilot 2610 and 60csx units to Virtual Disk Mode.
I also use MacGPSPro to load waypoints. It works great and their topo maps are good too, but cannot be loaded on Garmin units. John
I've got a PowerBook G4. I use GPSBabel+ to load gpx files to my Garmin GPSMap 60csx. I also use the Garmin Mapsource software in Virtual PC to load maps. Like TravelinTerriers said, you can't use the Garmin drivers to connect the GPS to Virtual PC, but I've been able to put the GPS in Virtual Disk Mode so it shows up like a USB thumb drive. That way you can use Mapsource to load and retrieve maps from the GPS. Unfortunatley, you can't transfer waypoints or tracks that way. Just maps. And it's VERY slow. I will usually start the transfer and walk away for a while.
Even with these inconveniences, I would never give up my mac or my 60 CSX!

I finally resolved my own problem. Downloaded newest Palm mobipocket and it works just fine for displaying Pocket Queries ebooks. John

I download Pocket query and then try to read in mobipocket on Treo 650. The file opens to html but I cannot figure out how to make it readable. I see not conversion or preference options. Operating on Palm OS and Mac G5 OSX desktop. John

One item to add. With Garmin gps they are not Mac friendly at all. I have Virtual PC on Mac and can operate the Map Source software but the USB drivers Garmin uses will NOT connect a Mac to a Garmin gps even with Virtual PC. They promise Mac help by Christmas if you believe in Santa Clause. I had to buy a cheap PC to download maps, routes, waypoints etc. John
