Hey Jeff

As a National Geographic Maps pro and GPS pro and you recommend a good GPS unit for use with both the TOPO state series and a Mac. My Mac is a couple of years old now and I can’t run Windows on it so I think the Magellans are out.

Thanks

Oly Hiker,

If you are willing to live with out a quality map on your GPS unit, and always take a paper map & compass with you, I would recommend the Garmin 60CSx unit. I own one and love the fact that it has a Sirf Star III high sensitivity low power consumption chipset. I would also recommend any of the etrex HC units.

If you are willing to wait alittle while, Magellan is going to make the Tritons MAC compatable, then I would consider a Triton unit where you would be able to transfer a NG Maps 24k customized map image.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
