Newbie here with my first post, although a long time lurker.
Looking to see if anyone has experience with GPS software for the new Macs, specifically the Mac Air.
I have been using a first generation Acer Aspire One (8.9") with Delorme Topo and a Ram mount. Delorme Topo works well for me around town, interstate and the occasional offroad. The whole setup has served me well, but has limitations with battery life and I am concerned with vibrating the hard drive, hence my move to the Mac Air (all solid state). I looked at the Zenbook, but went with the Mac as it had 256 GB of storage in the 11" form factor (Zenbook only had 128 GB).
Obviously I now have a different operating system to deal with so if I want to continue using Delorme I need to use a Windows emulator, or change to a different software. I have begun looking at MacGPS Pro and RouteBuddy, but am not sure they are comparable to Delorme Topo. For instance, I am not sure that Mac GPS Pro allows you to search for addresses and then plots your route for you.
Anyone have any advise or knowledge to share?
Thanks.
