If this is an example of Garmin's Mac support, they still have a ways to go.
I bought a GPSMAP 76CS a couple of years ago, and have been frustrated ever since by the inability to load maps to it, update it, etc. Virtual PC never provided an environment where I could see it, and I kept imagining they might actually come through with some Mac support.
This software can't see the 76CS, even though it is a model with a USB connection. Since there is no indication anywhere of what models the program does support, I had hoped this would be one of them, but apparently it's a "discontinued" model, and thus out of luck.
The problem, of course, is that Garmin's USB drivers are (or at least used to be) strange and non-standard. But you would think that the one organization that could write software top accommodate that (given that they won't allow anyone else to) would be Garmin. But no such luck.
