Redeyesi Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 This has no doubt been discussed before, so I,ll apologise now in advance, but I really need help on this. I got my etrex Vista-C about 2 months ago and have been using it without mapsource maps for mtb navigation and geocaching. A while ago, I bought myself a copy of Virtual PC 6.1 with Windows 98 for use on my mac (800mhz G4 Powerbook running OSX 10.2.8), VPC works fine. Finally I invested in MapSource City Select 6 looking forward to getting some decent mapping loaded to the receiver... I,ve had no luck getting my Vista-c to communicate with VPC dispite using the current drivers, i,ve noticed on another site (http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gps_vpc.html) they say you can't use a USB GPS with VPC!! is this true? please tell me, does anyone know a way around this?? Thanks a lot in advance. Redeye Quote Link to comment
Redeyesi Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 as a follow up to my post, I know there is a lot of debate about USB drivers for the mac, but I don't understand why the 'windows' driver does not work on VPC? Any explanations? Quote Link to comment

Any explanations? VPC6 simply doesn't handle USB well when it comes to certain devices. Garmin being among them. There's a rumor VPC7 has fixed the problem for some OSX platforms.
