Hi everyone (original timglobal, please note)

I use a Magellan Meridian (Orginal Yellow with 32MB SD in it) handheld. Does anyone know of suitable software for up/downloading maps and routes onto it from a Mac?

I can get over the serial cable issue with a serial to usb adaptor.

My only current options are: Virtual PC and run Ozi Eplorer, the included MapSend or similar PC Application, but this is not ideal (as it's an extra expense without certain result).

Buy a cheapo second-hand PC laptop and use it as dedicated machine - could be good to prevent outdoor wear-and-tear on main Mac.(again pricey)

Moving map software would be a bonus too, if it took the digital maps available for Australia.

I don't want debate over the merits of PC vs Mac, just any ideas or tips from those that have tried and hopefully succeeded. Thoughts on mapping software for either machine are welcome.

Kind regards,

Tim
