Garmin improves Mac support for GPS, releases a Bobcat: "
Filed under: Peripherals, Software
Mac users have long complained about leading GPS-maker Garmin's support for the fairer platform. Fortunately, Garmin has finally stepped up to the plate at Macworld this year with several announcements for the Mac. Perhaps most interesting is Bobcat, which 'allows you to transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes between your Mac and Garmin device and manage your data using your Garmin maps.' In addition, Garmin announced that all new maps for 2008 will be released in a native Mac format. Older PC-formatted maps can be converted and installed with MapInstall, which was released last year. Finally, the central Mac support page also lists Mac compatibility for the Garmin Connect web service coming later this year (as early as March for some models).Both Bobcat and MapInstall are available for download now. It's good to see Garmin finally getting its Mac house in order.Thanks Jason!<
