I have not had any problems with the Garmin 500 3.0 OS and GC, but I am using the 3.0 version of GC. There are developer builds available if you don't want to build your own. Even though it's pre-release it is very stable.

GC won't calculate power from HR.
I tried that, Eric. Unless I'm doing something wrong, my Mac doesn't see the Garmin (it's not visible as a "connected device" in Finder). I'll fiddle some more with it tomorrow. I'm up against the clock right now....
