Got bobcat.. it seems to be a tool for transferring routes and waypoints, but the map isn't that detailed.. could be me though

I'm thinking about how to transfer all the mapsource stuff on the pc onto the mac

Bobcat ain't bad in its current incarnation - there seems to be an update at least once per month. I still prefer Mapsource running in a virtual Windows machine - I have used Parallels but prefer VMware at the moment, both running XP

I've now managed to load Mapsource 2008 onto the mac. It opens in Bobcat.. and looks completely different from the mapsource on windows...It looks like I can plan a route and overlay it onto the maps already on the 2650, but still haven't bottomed how to swap the maps themselves about

Progress I know but slow
