Trouble updating maps with a Mac: What gives??

Hopefully you have figured things out by now, but just in case anyone else is having problems with the Mac. Your best bet is to EMPTY YOUR TRASH when you transfer any files out of your Garmin folder from your desktop to your trash. Also, when you update your map with that long download, make sure that all your geocache files are TRASHED and EMPTIED before you begin. Other than that, I have had no problem with my mac data.

You should be able to just download/buy the maps for it, then just update the system, maybe?

Tried deleting non-English voices to make more space, but it didn't work for me. Still getting error messages while updating. This is a serious hardware problem (lack of sufficient memory to install updates). If it updates the map, there is no space for the application, and vice-versa. This is ridiculous!!

Actually,Version 1.6 does support Mac, version 2 does not. However, you need version 2 to download maps, as the authentication is built into the version 2 download process.TT needs to come out with a version 2 for Mac to ensure full functionality for Mac only users.

I just bought a Garmin 60CSx, downoaded all of Garmin's Mac software from their website, and bought the Mac-compatible maps (as well as loading some of the free topos available) and, other than a few minor glitches, it's been great. I have an Intel iMac.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

The maps are stored on an SD memory card so updating would either require updating or swapping out that card.

The literature says it uses Tyre for its route planning. Tyre is not Mac compatible. I am not sure if Tom Tom's maps and firmware uploading software is Mac compatible. I use Tyre because its simpler than Basecamp, but its a bummer its not Mac compatible.

not sure but, most games like mindcraft do not support mac you would have to check the game site and still you would have the problem of java updates

Yes to your question. However, I would not recommend the purchase. It has numerous problems and locks up and require rebutting and start it up again. Map updates are few and far between and currently, they have not updated the Content Manager (Program to down load Upgrades) to work with my current operating system on my computer. And do not know when they will have it corrected.

Maps that are 3-4 years old are considered new. There is no support from Power Acoustik or navteq but i'm sure there are other units that share the same maps which you can upgrade. Since the maps are on a SD card i'm sure there's a way to update it, just not through Power Acoustik or Navteq.

No. I contacted the provider of the map software only to find that this unit uses pirated/cracked software that they will not support.

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps.Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR;=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref;=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.phpSelect your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.

Yes, there are no problems using that Garmin model with the Mac OS. No problems with the functionality of registration , updating software, etc. We are running 10.9.3 on a 3.5 GHz Intel iMac
