Might be easier, quicker and stop you from going insane to buy a little Windows 7 netbook?
Just a thought

or... run a virtual windows on your Mac using Bootcamp, VMware Fusion, or Parallels. I used to run Fusion on my Mac for Mapsource and a few other Windows-only apps. Bootcamp is bundled with OS X and is free. The others cost less than $100.

I've still got a PC, so if need be I will probably just use this - apart from that everything else seems to work

Got better things to focus on at the moment - like the annual "Beer, Bike and Beef" fest next week at Louee

Anyone played here - looks interesting

Everything ready to rumble - just need to get some time away to try all this stuff out
Maybe after the "Beer,bike,beef fest" next week

It's workin' on my Mac - looks like a good bit of gear I suppose there's nothing left to whinge about.

Better get on with it

Anyone know if Growee Track/Road is open right thru??????

Well - have had a few weeks now learning and playing. Have listed below some things that may help some new players to GPS

1. keep well stocked with beer
2. see note 1

Have been on a few Junkets to get the setup sorted. Bluetooth has added another issue

The GPS seems to be the weak link with bluetooth. For some reason it just can't handle IPhone calls thru to Scala headset

I have turned off the GPS Zumo Bluetooth - this seems to give the best result

IPhone paired directly to the Scala headset works the best as the IPod on the IPhone works as well as calls

OzTopo with Basecamp is awesome - shows unbelievable detail when planning/setting routes to upload to the GPS. On a recent ride thru the Ellenborough Falls/ Knodingbul Rd area the pre installed route made it easy (sort of) .
Still got heaps to learn - Navigation - Bluetooth

Also got the Z-Technic Handlebar mount - much better than the Ram mount

Godamn man, the flight deck on an A380 would be less complicated. Suggest you revert to paper maps before it's too late.

Even though it may seem alot of trouble I am actually having a ball mucking around with this stuff
