Couldn't agree more with this. It's been the one area where Macs just haven't kept up with the state-of-the-art. Delorme's mapping applications are amazing. And I can't upload detailed maps to my Garmin 5 with my Powerbook. I had to get IT to dig up an museum-piece dell so I could install the necessary software. Even if we can't run windows, maybe adapting PC software will be much cheaper now, and OEM software devs will just create alternate, OSX native versions of our favorite apps (like StreetAtlas!)
