Mac topics

Just downloaded, looks like some things were fixed.

I spoke with someone today who was having troubles loading BMP icons using the Mac version of POI Loader. He had done some troubleshooting with Garmin technical support, and they found that the icons worked with the PC version of POI Loader but not the Mac version. On the Mac, they would cause an "unexpected error".

Thought I'd mention there's a GPX Editor for Mac now:

New OS X backdoor malware roping Macs into botnet

New malware targeting Mac machines, opening backdoors on them and roping them into a botnet currently numbering around 17,000 zombies has been spotted and analyzed by malware researchers of Russian AV company Dr. Web.

For those interested iOS 8 has been released.

Just downloaded...

Is latest version of TomTom Home for the Mac behaving properly? Just want to make sure it works well before upgrading.

Thanks!

I am new here. As stated in the subject line I am trying to load a POI onto my Garmin 3590. I did surf the topics and tried to use the search feature with no joy. I did find the instruction for using a PC.

I just installed City Navigator North America 2014.40 on my Garmin nevi 2350LMT using Garmin Express v3.0.7.0. So while the unit was still hooked up to my Mac I decided to do some preliminary work on a drive to Gatlinburg, TN using Garmin Roadtrip. When the app launched I got the usual dialog reporting that the new map was locked and recommending that I unlock it online.

I have an 8GB sd card in my Nuvi 260W. I'd like to erase non-essential files to make more room. Here is a list of the files in the Garmin folder on the sd card at present.

46B601FC-A186-4E47-AB83-C604EABA6967.gma
gmappupdate.gsd
gmapsup1.gma
gmapsup1.img
gmapsup1.unl
gmapsupp copy.img
gmapsupp.img

What do you suggest I erase to create more space?

What format do I need to use a 4GB sd card in my Nuvi 260W? I use a MBP computer and will format/reformat the SD card w/ Disk Utility.

Thanks for the help!!

I have been trying to delete custom Poi's on dezl 790 with a mac. Have deleted all poi files on mac. Using Poi loader says all Poi are removed, but they are still on Gps. Managed to remove shortcuts & favourites, but custom Poi;s are still there. Can anyone help?

I am trying to put my POIs on my up-to-date Nuvi 755T through an SD card.

I formatted the 2 GB card with Disk Utility as Fat32 with MBR and placed it in the card slot on my iMac.

When I tried to install the POIs from POILoader onto the card it stayed at "Initializing" for over 15 minutes before I cancelled it.

If anyone is able to point out what is wrong I would apprecite it.

Just downloaded BaseCamp 4.2.1.0 for Mac.

Let's see what's new...

You'll be able to plan a route on your mac... and send it to your iPhone...
