Ok in lieu of being able to message the map maker, John_M. I am asking via a thread.

First is there a mac version of the South East (I have grabbed and used SE but why not the Northeast esp part 3 of 3?  I am looking for topos of SC, Va and Md. The SE takes care of SC and others I have some interest in.

Also I would like to build maps, after reviewing the howtos, it seems all the compiling and combining tools reside on M$. I have seen the MacGPS software as an aside. But I want to work on a mac.

thx.

Can't answer the first part, you would have to contact the author for that.

As far as a compiler for use on a Mac, mkgmap is available or you can upload to MapCenter2. Unless something has changed, MacGPS isn't going to build maps that you can load to your GPSr, they reside only on your computer and you use your GPSr to position yourself on that map.
