Using Mac with etrex Legend

[jmasiello]

Help - I just got my etrex legend only to find it won't work on my Mac. Anybody offer possible solutions?? Thank You

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.

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.

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.

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....

I have a Legend and a Mac also.

 

Try using:

I have used this program without any "tweaking" at all to upload waypoints.
