Thanks for all the "ideas". It's not so much finding a "work around" to get this to work with the Garmin 496, as it is with getting it to work correctly. As many as 6 different databases upgrading on a 28 to 56 day cycle. Then there is Duats that is PC only, hmmm. No doubt the FAA and Aviation industry is still "old school" with PC, but then again, these are my problems now, see the real isue here, now?
As far as Map Source; there is now a Mac Beta that can be used for Map Source (at Garmin). Map source (highway and directions, etc) and aviation datebases are Two diffent animals The main issue here is the .exe only software upgrades for the Aviation databases. Garmin has NO plans to offer these in Mac. PC only.
What about OS Leopard releasing in two days? Boot Camp will be native. How will Parallels update changes? Any time soon?
Thanks anyway; (usb on keyboard) I've been looking for an excuse for a G5.....lol
PS; I have 3 USB ports on the mac book pro, none work with this problem, a laptop. Hmmm
