Trying to update the camera database, followed the instructions, keeps giving disc error.
Are these updates and instructions Mac compatible or will it only work on PC ?
I installed the original database using a Sony Vaio but have since seen the light and changed to a MacBook
I don't particularly want to load Windows onto this machine. |

Hi.
Can you be a bit more specific about where it goes wrong?
Not clear at what stage you are encountering this problem. |

Downloaded the Garmin POI Loader for Mac, have printed out the instructions, followed them exactly, created the garmin and Garmin folder, burned the disc, however the only option I have is using the Snow Leopard OS software on the Mac - it burns discs that I use on other machines without problems.
When I put the disc in the unit - in Nav mode, it says reading disc for 5 seconds or so, then disc error. I have tried waiting a couple or three minutes to see if it would do anything but no joy.
Only difference seems to be that when I initially put the camera database in, I used a disc burned on a PC - I am sure there can't be any differences because it just seems to be an Excel file full of lat/long info and some icons.
I remember it took a while to get it right when I first put the cameras in - problem was, that was 2 years ago........... |

OK. I can't help with the Mac part, however some general questions.
Are you using good quality brand name CDs?
CDR not CDRW?
Have you "finalised" the disk? |

Imation CD-R's
Mac doesn't specify finalising the disc but I have burnt data discs without problems before.
Do you know of a third party downloadable burning software I can try as an alternative ? |

Toast is the most popular Mac CD burning app. _________________ Darren Griffin |
