I haven't seen this yet, but I've been waiting a long time for them to come out with it. Now, if they would just do it for MAC.

Not mine - that is the thing I don't like about it. The good thing is it ALWAYS works, just not necessarily on what you want - a good map (GPS) program & MS Money !

Maybe Garmin eventually will solve 50% of my Mac short-comings.

Garmin is slowly but surely coming around to Macs. They have already released:

Bobcat, Mapinstall, POI Loader, Web Updater, Map Manager for the Mac. And the last time I got an updated map from them (City Navigator NT V8) for my StreetPilot 7500, it installed fine from my Mac. So I think that they will release Garmin PC for the Mac soon.

Here's a link to Garmins Mac Software:

Mac Software from Garmin

Or if you can't wait, run to Best Buy, and get a cheap $400.00 PC, just to run that 1 program.
