Garmin 182C to Mac OS X

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. The folks at James Associates, makers of Map GPS Pro were unable to recommend to me an afforable source of digital nautical charts compatible with Macs and their software (Tiff, Jpeg, pdf). I am hoping to take advantage of the bigger screen on my laptop and ease of using a mouse to facilitate course plotting. TIA, harlan I am not familiar with the Garmin 182C, but I usea Garmin 3 & 3+ with GPSy, MacGPS, MaxSEA, StreetAtlas, Topo(VirtualPC), Topo/Mac just to name a few, with no problems I have the GPS3+ set up as a Network Device by connecting it to my Wallstreet's Serial Port, and then using PortsharPro to publish it on the LAN/WAN for all other CPU'S to use. I still am having a bit of trouble with the Topo/Mac version networked GPS, as the programers are still using the OLD Modem/Printer GUI's instead of the CommToolBox, or Open Transport GUI's for the Serial I/O Drivers. VirtualPort does work Well for the PC Crowd. I have used both the Keyspan USA-28X, and the Belkin F5U103-MAC USB/Serial Adapters when in nonnetworked operations. These all work well for me, on both OS9.2.2 and OSX. I would look at what the differences are between the 182C and the rest of the Garmin GPS line. Garmin/Garmin Mode Serial I/O should do the trick for most of this. Bruce in alaska -- add a 2 before @ |
