I have a garmin 7200 street pilot and would like to load some trails form google earth to the   gps unit . I see there is a program for pcs which does this but I can't find one from a mac? anyone know what programs  to use and how to do this?

Basecamp and Roadtrip are Garmin's Mac programs:

Whether they will work with an older unit like the 7200, I don't know. I don't use Google earth, but you may need to convert the file to something that Basecamp understands. GPSBabel can probably do that.

I could be wrong, but I do not think your GPS can have a track uploaded to it.  I know for the handhelds you can trace something in GoogleEarth, convert to a gpx file, and then upload the gpx file to the GPS.  But I do not think this works with any of the car GPSs (but I could be wrong).  If that is the case, the only option would be making a map.

The Nuvi's don't allow you to import tracks. Not sure about the StreetPilot series. The older StreetPilots could do this, but the 7200 is more "Nuvi-like" than the 2600 series.
