Veteran 433 Pittsburgh, PA | Subject: RE: Garmin and Apple (Mac) Just go to that site and download the two pieces. They will download as a .dmg. Once they are downloaded double click that file and then there will be an installer just like on windows. |

Expert 1571  | Subject: RE: Garmin and Apple (Mac) I bought a MacBook Pro at Christmas last year. 13 days before the warranty went out my computer died. They changed out the logic board for free, but had I been past the warranty date and not had an expensive extended warranty, I'd been (*&^ out of luck. Next time I'm going PC. |

That's a quite unusual experience... usually it's exactly the opposite. You will pay more for a Mac, but they tend to work longer and more importantly, stay current longer. You can easily use a 6-10 year old Mac and not really give up that much performance, whereas with a PC.... well, last years model feels slow.... |

Or... buy the extended warranty. It will cover you for an extra 2 years. You can purchase them on ebay for around $100 depending on which version you need. |
