Geelvink Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I am considering buying a Macbook Air. I took my Garmin Nuvi 500 to the Apple store and tried to transfer the pocket query GPX .files to the Nuvi 500 but it did not seem to work On my old windows it was easy all I had to do was to click on the pocket query file and then to double click on the transfered file to get the unzipped GPX files and the move it to the Nuvi 500 drive. Surely many people use an Air or Apple PC for this purpose. Any guidance will be appreaciated. Please Quote Link to comment
+coggins Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Install BaseCamp for Macintosh on the MacBook Air, open the .gpx files and send them via USB to your Garmin. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You cannot simply connect the GPS as a mass storage device and copy the files? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment
