Quoting Adrian Colley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Lloyd,
Saw your comments,I am particularly interested in Macs and GPS - is there
someone out there who is able to impart some wisdom in terms of how to
interface Macs and GPS? I am in Bunbury but would even consider a trip or
two to Perth if there was someone who would run a quick tutorial or even
just point me in the right direction on how to bring these two technologies
together. Technical I am not so simple stuff is what I am after.

I have read today's SMH review of GPS which rates the TomTom very highly. I
know nothing of such things but I guess you have to download software and
upgrade through a computer. I would also like to take one to Europe so I
guess that also needs a computer download.
Are these things Mac friendly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There are a couple of yahoo groups that may be of interest.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/macmap/
Description
This list is for users of Macintosh mapping and GPS (Global
Positioning System) software and hardware. Its purpose is to allow
users to exchange tips, seek help with problems and disseminate
information about software and hardware providers' products and
intentions. The list focuses on currently available Macintosh mapping
and GPS software, hardware, and peripherals, but also provides a forum
for "orphaned" products, including DeLorme's Mac Street Atlas USA. It
also focuses on differences between Mac OS X and Mac OS (9.2 and
earlier).
MacMap is a recognized Apple Macintosh User Group.
