I'm a Mac guy and not a PC person, but I'd assume that they would automatically transfer over when you do a migration to your new machine. Windows can do a migration to the new machine can't it?

+splashy Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) I wonder why often not so tech-ish people end up buying Mac, then wonder why it isn't working. Edited June 7, 2010 by splashy Quote Link to comment
namiboy Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I wonder why often not so tech-ish people end up buying Mac, then wonder why it isn't working. i wonder why people make silly assumptions. the Mac is working fine. i haven't even tried to install mapsource or basecamp or whatever on it as of yet. i figured maybe i could get some tips from a Mac user before i start, and actually my original post was about getting mapsource transferred over to a pc anyway. as i said, i ended up buying a mac. do you have anything substantive to add?

+splashy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Sure the Mac is a very nice machine, still it's very incompatible with sillions of programs, unless you know how to handle them, if you can live with that. Problems will be bigger then a mapsource transfer. Garmin has a Mac site http://www8.garmin.com/macosx/index.jsp read posting # 2 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=251825 And I did read the next message, MS has his problems also.
