I wondered if anyone was using GPSNavX with a Mac? Any good? Did the
Mac take data from the GPS without too much problem?

Not much stuff for Mac Marine use out there - nice to see something like
this.

Also, I'm Europe based, and would have to use MAPTECH to get best
coverage. Any views on those?

FWIW, if you've considered BlueChart[0]:

"Garmin Announces GPS Product Support for Mac OS X...

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"

Yeah, I'm in the UK and faffed about with VirtualPC and USB-Serial
adaptors before I gave up and bought an old used PC *just to run
MapSource on*...

[0] I like BlueChart 'cos you can run it on a handheld *and* on a
computer - 'tho I don't do the latter.
