I know there are many users of Macintosh and Garmin on this board. Well here's some good news for you/

Garmin have finally yielded to the pressure and announced support for Mac OS-X for their whole product range.

The release also notes:

"By the end of 2006, Garmin intends to have made all its popular hardware and software applications Mac OS X compatible. This includes the ability to load MapSource map data to Garmin units via a Mac, as well as waypoint and trip planning applications. Additionally, the Garmin nRoute application will allow Powerbook and iBook users to turn their laptop into a powerful street navigation tool with Garmin's GPS 10 or GPS 18 sensors."

And then, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Google have released a beta version of the amazing Google Earth product for OS-X (10.4 or later).
