I have a Garmin Legend CX, given to me by my sister. Nice gal, huh? Anyway I use it on my bike more for bling than regular use because most of my rides are local that I've ridden dozens of times. The last time I checked REI and the Garmin website, they do *not* have software that is Mac compatibility. Shucks, as I could fully utilize my GPS more often and would encourage me to bike to the far edges of the Madison and Dane county maps more often.
Having said that, I do use it from time to time on longer rides just to see where I am relative to way points I've already entered, verify the bike computer is calibrated properly, and use the compass headings in the event that I'm totally flumoxed as what direction I'm going. the Legend GX is not made specifically for bicycle use, but there are handle bar adapters available.
