Will MacGPS Pro work with the Garmin Street Pilot and Nuvi receivers?

0

MacGPS Pro is designed for off-road use, not for highway navigation. Nevertheless it will transfer waypoints, routes and tracklogs, and collect real-time data for some Street Pilot Receivers such as the Street Pilot III. It will also work for waypoint, route and tracklog transer (no real-time data) with some Nuvi receivers which have a USB interface identical to the Garmin Colorado series of receivers. We cannot provide a list of which Nuvi receivers work and which do not. In any case, MacGPS Pro will not load maps into a Street Pilot or a Nuvi receiver. Garmin keeps their map loading protocol secret. We suggest that Mac owners purchase one of the Nuvi receivers which has maps for the entire country pre-installed.
