Tracker. com. This is typical Garmin. Its incomplete software from a company specializing in lousy interfaces, lousy customer service and proprietary products. Mac. GPS, plus Map. Tech charts plus just about any receiver you want to use.
A lot less money and a more pleasant experience. I use a Garmin (marine) but would certainly have looked at other receivers had I known the above when I bought it. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Summary. This review was originally posted on Version.
Tracker. com. This software is a joke. All this software does is load a map on to a Garmin GPS that has already been extracted on a PC. You can't edit a map, you need a PC for that. You can't buy a new map and load it with your app, no. PC, copy the data to the mac and then upload it to the GPS. If I was gong to go through all that trouble, why wouldn't I just use the PC, I would need to have one anyways?

I borrowed a work pc one more time and converted all my maps, sent them to my Mac, and can now change the maps on my GPS all I want. For me, this works perfectly.

This review was originally posted on Version. Tracker. com. I do not understand what Garmin is trying to accomplish here. If you have a PC and you have the map data loaded on your PC, you simply have to use their Webupdater or their Map.
Source programs to update your system or Map data directly from the PC. What do you have to gain by going through all of this hassle to update your map data?? What is Garmin trying to prove? Now if you could manipulate the data for routs, etc. Map. Source for the PC, then you have something.
But with this, you have nothing and nothing to gain? Simply an annoying program so that you can hook up your Mac to download a Map upgrade that you already had on the PC??? What the?? Garmin, come on now. Get the Map. Source progam ported to the Mac and get the new Map data format set up for the Mac. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Please Wait.
