Hi,

I've started to track my walks and car trips with the Garmin device which I've recently bought. So far I'm quite happy with it, but I still have to learn a lot about map making.

As I'm using a Mac I wonder if there is a way to reasonable download data from the device without having to start my Windows emulator?

I've found out that you can switch the device in settings to behave like a USB disk and hence you can download the tracks you recorded from that device. This of course will only work if you set the track saving options to "Chip" (at least that's what I think... good luck).

However, you can only download tracks, but not waypoints (and I've inserted a lot of them...). Does anybody have some experience with Garmin and Mac? Googling did not find suitable tools yet.

Furthermore, I cannot upload the POIs from Garmin - the POI loader does not like the format - don't laugh...

Cheers,
Werner
