Garmin horrible to set up with a Mac
Pros
easy to use unit
Cons
frustrating/impossible to set up and load the maps you need with a Mac
Recommended it?
No
The GPS unit itself works great, and is intuitive and easy to use. HOWEVER, it is a horror to set up if you have a Mac! Even though the website claims they now support Mac, they are really useless when it actually comes to it. I initially had to set it up with a borrowed PC (and, predictably, the software was ridiculously unintuitive; when the "mac update", was announced--many months after it was supposed to--I ordered my free update CD (having finally figured out how to get it from their unwieldy website—of course it's not possible to download the files directly from the site, even with the various and confusing "unlock" codes you have to use!). The CD arrives in a few weeks: no Mac update on it. And no help on the website. You would think that nowadays any big and well known company would in this day and age provide Mac support (not to mention web downloads of additional programs/maps!). Very disappointing.
