Garmin offers OSX Support (kind of)
Garmin has finally offered OSX support to users with USB GPS Devices that wish to update their units. The OSX application is called WebUpdater. I was able to plug in my GPS 60CS and for the first time since owning it (3 years), my mac recognized it.I had tried using the OSX application Parallels to connect my GPS to my mac before Garmin released WebUpdater, but I learned that the 60CS is not supported under Parallels. Therefore, I was at the mercy of Garmin. After they delayed their promised 2006 release of OSX support, I didn't know if I would ever see it...

Although I am happy to see this progress, I am still anxiously waiting for an OSX supported MapSource app that will allow me to install maps using my Mac. Without it, all I have is an GPS that is able to be updated, but not used effectively.
If you haven't used your GPS to Geocache yet, check out the tutorial!

Dude! How'd you get the Updater to recognise the Garmin? I've tried on two Macs so far and nothing...
OSX10.5 + 60CS = No joy... :o(
Cheers!
