Can I transfer Garmins MapSource maps into my GPS receiver using MacGPS Pro?

Garmin’s map transfer protocol is secret and proprietary to them. No third-party Macintosh software can use it. Thus, MacGPS Pro navigation software cannot transfer Garmin’s MapSource maps into Garmin receivers – only Garmin’s software has this ability. On the other hand, MacGPS Pro allows two-way transfer of waypoints, routes, and tracklogs with a Mac OS X native application. It is complimentary to Garmin’s software. While Garmin’s software limits the consumer to Garmin’s maps only, MacGPS Pro allows you to use most other maps on your Macintosh screen, including Digital Raster Graphics topo maps.
