hi, what a great site...

i have just bought a nuvi 500 and want to upload maps to it , though my mac is OSX version 10.3.9 which causes 2 problems:

1) nuvi not recognised by mac
2) mapsource cant run on mac

i though i might be able to simply download maps onto a microSD card to then plug into the nuvi but having done this the nuvi doesnt show the map, even when it is ticked and the garmin-installed europe maps are unticked on the nuvi.

any help appreciated please! eg is there an alternative to mapsource that i can use to manipulate maps on my mac then load onto the microSD so that they are available when the card is plugged into the nuvi?

sorry i know this is a nursery question and the real answer is to get a new mac, but i wont be doing that any time soon since its fine for everything else.

thanks in advance for anything you can advise...
