Delorme has given up on the Mac. I don't know how much longer they will support the Mac version. Many pleas, even just for an update of the maps, have yielded negative results.
I have read several reviews of Route 66 on Amazon and it it sounds like a real dog. I'd suggest saving up for a Garmin iQue combination PDA and GPS. It's really nifty. It can even play MP3s!!

Joe, I have an Aluminum PB G4 that I would like to use Street Atlas and GPS. I had been using a Wallstreet and it was working well but I keep getting the same dialog when I try to use the GPS in Street Atlas. It says there are no serial ports available. Duh!!
Can I use GPSy somehow? Do you have any suggestions how I can configure the PB?
Thanks, Byron

Has anyone been using GPS and Map software on their powerbook? I'm interested in trying it but would like to know of experiences of others who may be using it. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome. Happy Holidays to All Ed T
I use a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver and two applications, one called GPSy and Delorme's Street Atlas on my Pismo and it works fine. My only complaint is that I have to use Classic mode. Delorme refuses to make an OS X version of their software.
I just heard about one called Route 66 2004 that will be out in January; I intend to get it and the OS X update of GPSy and try them next year. The GPSy web site has info on cables, adapters and other things you may need you can check it out here:http://www.gpsy.com
Last year a group of us rented a house in the Poconos for the NASCAR Pocono 500. Although one of the group had been there the year before, I asked for the address and used my Pismo to track our route. As it turned out, we got seperated from the other 3 cars in the caravan but since I had the address and the GPS; we got to the house 45 minutes ahead of anyone else. Now my buddies don't give me quite as bad a time about my geekiness.
