    Default Garmin City Navigator on a MAC?

    I finally made the switch from PC to Mac and got my unit today (one year old MBP 2.4 intel duo 4gig, and started loading my camera software etc and when I got to the software for my garmin zumo hit a wall. How can I load and run City Nav on my Mac? I'll preapoligize if this is a simple question, it's my first day on the other side.

    See if any of this might help.
    Do you have the PC or the MAC version of the software/maps. You can convert your maps to the MAC version, and I think you use the RoadTrip software.

    I dont have a garmin, but I did download the roadtrip and some maps from a link that someone posted here a day or two ago. I got the free topo maps to run just fine in the road trip software.

    If you have the PC version of City Navigator it must be converted for Mac use. This is done using Garmin's Map Conversion utility not Road Trip. A PC is necessary to do the conversion it cannot be done on a Mac. The Utility is available at the link posted by Redbeard.

    Cool thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot! I spent some time on their site before posting and must have missed that.
