jmasiello Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Help - I just got my etrex legend only to find it won't work on my Mac. Anybody offer possible solutions?? Thank You Quote
+briansnat Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 I don't think any GPS works with MAC, at least not without a lot of tweaking. I know one MAC GPS user who hits the local library to do his uploading of waypoints. "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" -Abraham Lincoln Quote
+flask Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 the guys at my local mac store think it's possible. i ost the name they gave me though. at work i have some non-mac machine that doesn't communicate well with my GPS either. so far i don't care. it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.

+Matt1344 Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 I have a Garmin Etrex Vista which I use with my Macs. Yes, I used a PC at work to load the Garmin maps into the Vista but I use the Macs to transfer waypoints from geocaching.com. All you need is the Mac GPS software and a serial to USB adapter. It's no problem at all. Quote
+TeamVE Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 There's a few options: 1. MacGPS Pro (unfortunately there is no free version like EasyGPS vs ExpertGPS 2. If you're using OSX, check out roberlipe's gpsbabel.... ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- "The number you have reached is imaginary, please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again... <beeeeep>" Quote
+GrnXnham Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 I have a Legend and a Mac also. Try using: www.MacSimpleGPS.com I have used this program without any "tweaking" at all to upload waypoints. Quote
