Ho chiesto a Garmin novità sul tanto atteso soft compatibile con il mac e mi è giunta la risposta (che allego) nella quale ribadiscono la loro intenzione di rendere interfacciabile lo strumento a breve. Parlano di fine 2006 inizio 2007 per il TC e nell'arco del 2007 del motinbased.
Speriamo bene................

Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe.
Currently there is no Mac support nor software available however Garmin
have
announced that we will immediately begin to make our line of GPS and
mobile
electronics devices compatible with Mac OS X version 10.4
"Tiger." This
makes Garmin the first major GPS designer and manufacturer to announce
direct support for Mac OS X.
A few bits of information which may be worth noting, at the beginning of
2007 (possibly end of the year - '06), we will offer a Mac version
of the
popular Training Centre software. Used with Garmin's line of
Forerunner and
Edge series of fitness products. The software also offers interactive
analysis tools that will now allow Mac users to chart their performance
information like speed, heart rate, cadence, elevation, and pace.
Also in 2007, Garmin will make the www.MotionBased.com upload interface
Mac
compatible. MotionBased.com translates GPS data into performance
analysis,
online mapping, and route sharing for endurance and outdoor athletes.
Data
collected by a Garmin GPS device is uploaded to MotionBased.com where
time,
distance, speed, elevation, cadence, grade, and heart rate analysis is
displayed through charts, illustrations, and reports.
By late 2007, Garmin intends to have made all its popular hardware and
software applications Mac OS X compatible. This includes the ability to
load
MapSource map data to Garmin units via a Mac, as well as waypoint and
trip
planning applications. Additionally, the Garmin nRoute application will
allow Powerbook and iBook users to turn their laptop into a powerful
street
navigation tool with Garmin's GPS 10 or GPS 18 sensors.
