Good News for Macs and Garmin Users
Hey gang,
I have not seen this mentioned here as of yet (apologies if otherwise), but here is some good news from Garmin about Mac compatibility.
http://www.garmin.com/pressroom/corporate/011006.html
This is good news all around especially in light of the new Edge and Forerunners to come.
Take care,
T

As far as compatibility goes, the new MacBook Pro and other Macs coming soon are using that Apple/Intel chipset. They can dual-boot windows with ease.

Thomill,
Thanks for the news. I wrote Garmin a nice note thanking them. Perhaps I get can get the full use of my ForeRunner 201 now.

Finally! I've been using my neighbor's Winbox to do all the uploading and downloading to my Garmin Quest. Being able to run Mapsource native (Cocoa?) and have the Quest respond will be a huge improvement.
Dare I hope for some serious UI spit and polish as they create the Mac version? The PC version's interface is from the Hall of Shame.

Apple doesn't care if you dual boot with Windows. However, they won't support it. And like MNT2SEA said, the new Macs dont use Bios.
I'm waiting for the new Mac Mini.
