Though their website lists Mac os support, Garmin's track record for support in software for anything but Windows is lacking. I bought one of their runner's gps units and was content to either log my data manually from the screen or use one of the workaround hacks for Linux and Mac. Just over a year later after many promises the company finally saw some light and squeezed out some software. Tom Tom had all users covered. Though they only make car and motorcycle gps units the barrier to entry was significantly less than Garmin for me. That and the fact that all those useless bells and whistles drive the price up and don't make the device any better. Get a Tom Tom One 3rd Ed. You won't be sorry.
