Comments about Garmin Topo United States Maps 2008 - Mac:
I was completely unable to use this product and had to return it [...]. I've used Garmin's MapSource with my GPS and an old PC for several years now and was hoping that I could finally use a similar software on my Mac. The software comes with no instructions or manual, either hard-copy or pdf format, and there are no instructions online at Garmin's website either. The old MapSource program allowed the user to select regions of the country and then transfer them to the GPS. With the new Mac version, two small programs were mounted on my computer, but they apparently are only used to transfer maps to the GPS. There was nothing that allowed me to look at maps themselves. It sounded like data were being downloaded onto Mac during the installation process (based on the time of the installation) but none of this was accessible and there were no instructions on what to do. I contacted Garmin via e-mail and they did respond quickly, but they were of no help. They simply didn't answer the questions I was asking them.The program also didn't recognize my GPS, so I probably couldn't have used the maps even if the software had worked.I'm hoping Garmin corrects this so I can use my Mac, but this definitely is not the product.
