Oh and to Indrid Cold, I have 2G of RAM.

I have an eTrex Venture CX. It is adequate for my needs and is really quite versatile. I got it cheap right when Garmin discontinued them. I guess they had a new line coming out.
One thing I've noticed: when I use  my Dad's street Pilot it takes you on the most convoluted route possible. I nearly threw it out the window yesterday, after I drew a blank on where this particular road was in my city. I was using City Navigator 2011, BTW.
Garmin's routing algorithm must have been written by the proverbial million monkeys pounding on typewriters.

Thanks for the feedback; sorry I was tardy in responding to it. I still have the same computer ("it's the economy."), have upgraded to OSX 10.5 and that is where it maxes out.
I found a way to quickly change which the maps on micoSD/SD cards if you need to. Once you have created a map or mapset with Mapinstall, you can copy the mapsupp.img file into a named folder. That way if you lose a card or whatnot all you have to do is drag the image file onto your new card, or use an existing card after you copy that file to another folder and delete it. That way you don't have to go through the Mapinstall process.
This may be a well-known trick, I suppose.

Anyone out there have suggestions for applications one can use to view and manage maps, waypoints, etc. on a Mac Power PC running OSX 10.4.11?
Garmin's apps are pretty slow and jerky. I have an eTrex Venture Cx.
Thanks (I hope) in advance.
