Does anyone recommend a solution that allows reading digital charts on
my TiBook with Mac OS X 10.2.8, plotting courses, and then sending the
routes to my Garmin 182C?

I own the power/data cable and a keyspan 19QW USB to serial port
connector which looks to fit.

The GPSY Pro software does not list the 182C as a compatable unit.

GPSy will not be able to transfer charts to/from any Garmin receiver -
only Garmin's own software (which, I think, only runs on PCs) will do
that.

However, GPSy, or any other chart display program that accepts
NMEA-0183 real-time position data from a GPS should work with the 182
for that function.

(There are so many different GPS models available, with more coming
out every week, it seems, that you can't expect any software vendor to
list all compatible models.)
