How to convert Garmin GPS maps for OS X use
Authored by: renodavid on Jan 23, '08 02:52:12PM

kenscott30, thanks so much for the tip about using a card reader instead of plugging the GPS unit in directly. I use XP via Parallels on my MacBook sometimes when I need to do stuff like this. Unfortunately, it was crashing (XP, not the Macbook) everytime I tried to update the map set in my little Garmin i3. I was thinking something was screwed up badly, until I read your hint. I tried a card reader and everything loaded flawlessly. A big relief. I didn't even know using a card reader was possible. Thanks again!
