    Parallels Environment:
    Build: 3150
    Guest OS: WinXP SP2
    Drive: BootCamp

    Garmin Environment:
    Devices: Forerunner 301 (F/W 3.20), GPSMap 60CSx (S/W v3.10, GPS S/W 2.90)
    Training Center: v3.2.1
    MapSource: v6.11.6

    Details:
    Originally setup a BootCamp Partition to use Garmin devices as Parallels would not support the Forerunner. All Garmin software was originally installed under BootCamp.

    Note: Install was performed mid-January, Training Center 3.2.0 would not upload to Forerunner.

    Upgraded to Parallels build 3150 today, Forerunner now recognized as "Garmin International - GPSmap (various models)" still uses the same WinXP drivers. Training Center opens and automatically downloads! :D

    Training Center wouldn't upload workouts. :mad: Used MapSource (from GPSmap 60CSx) to verify Waypoint upload and it worked! Problem was in Training Center, Garmin released a new version (v3.2.1 on January 24, 2007) that corrects the upload problem. :D

    Everything finally works on both GPS's using both software packages. Time to pack it up into a virtual hard drive and ditch BootCamp.

    Garmin also released v2.0.1 of the Mac Training Center, it is improved over the MacWorld release and has a majority of the functionality of the PC version, although some pieces still feel kludged.
