Garmin and the Mac
27/09/06 21:25 Filed in: Sport
Back in January 2006 Garmin announced with a
flourish that they would support the Mac. They
made the announcement at Apple's Premier event,
Macworld Expo. Since then we have seen one beta
plugin for Motionbase and no sign of Training
Centre. What has gone wrong? In the linked
article above it is mentioned that less than 5%
of visits to their site are from Mac users. What
a surprise when they don't support them. Is this
a sign they are backing out?
I bought a Garmin Forerunner 305 and it is a great GPS device. I bought it because of the promise that was made at Macworld. Garmin now say that the software will come out by the end of the year, but considering it was meant to be spring, who knows? Come on Garmin, how about a public beta. The Macintosh community is ready and willing to help. We know what running beta software means. Lets see it.
