    Hi,
    I need to link this path on the Mac to the windows path, so that I can use the same maps on both platforms. Of course, neither finder nor Windows explorer show these folders by default.
    Mac: ... user directory/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps
    Win: C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps

    How can I do this?

    I am pretty new to Mac and Parallels, sorry :)

    Thanks,
    Holger

    Hi @HolgerI , please click on Configure > Options > Sharing > Share Mac > Check if "All Disks" are selected and check if that works.

    Thanks Arun, I can now find the folder in the Mac file system from within Windows explorer. Now I need to figure how to map the Mac folder to the correct place in the windows file system, best without creating a circular reference...
    Any idea how this can be accomplished?
