One of the applications that has stopped me using the Mac for everything has been my GPS. Although I use the GPS a lot, I don't trust it ... not since I found myself on the wrong side of a swollen river in November and had to detour almost eight miles through snow (and if I'd had a map I'd have realised that if I'd gone only half a mile in the other direction, I'd had found a bridge!) Anyway, I always plan my routes on the computer and download them to the GPS (and I still carry maps!) Up until now I haven't been able to find anything which easily integrated all this into one package on the Mac ... but for those with Garmin GPSs, Garmin now has Project Bobcat!OK, it lacks the bells and whistles of MapSource,(the PC version) but it goes to prove that Garmin are developing for the Mac, so if you own a Garmin GPS - go to www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3886 and grab a free copy! (Note: The link may change over time as the software is updated). (You will need registered Garmin mapping software to be able to use the maps.)

After listening to the podcast (BRITISHMAC075), I had a look at Routebuddy - it looks interesting - has anyone actually used it? The one limitation I can see is you can't upload the maps to a GPS, but that's not a showstopper.
