News from the Macworld expo '06
"The biggest surprise is that Garmin has a large, attractive booth. Garmin makes all kinds of GPS equipment (we have a Street Pilot III and a hand-held Vista) but has long eschewed Mac compatibility. One had to use third-party software to use their equipment with a Mac, either Mac-specific bridging software or Virtual PC--we used the latter. The good news for Mac users is that this is about to change rapidly. Over the next 3-6 months Garmin will be delivering GIS/GPS software designed from the ground up for Mac OS X (press release). Garmin was showing off its great new equipment and betas of its new Mac software. If you are interested in GPS technology, check out the Garmin nuvi 350 and keep watch on Garmin's Web site for Mac software."
