Any GPS solutions for Mac?

[themacko]

I'm about to purchase a GPS unit (something from or similar to the eTrex) for some field work I'm going to doing in the next few years. However, I can't seem to find much info on syncing (for lack of a better term) these units with a Macintosh.

I'm in OS X (obviously) but if I have to use Classic that's a hardship I can endure. The Garmin eTrex site says that:

You can also interface GARMIN GPS units with many other 3rd party software programs for waypoint management and real-time tracking on a computer. Please be sure though that the program has GARMIN's communication protocol or a NMEA 0183 interfacing capability. In this scenario, all you will need is the GARMIN PC Interface cable.

Do you any of you know of a solution that would work with the eTrex or a similar unit? Comments, suggestions, put-downs are all welcome.

A couple of leads here:

Check them out. I will warn you that the only OSX native software in the bunch seems to be available only in German...

And it looks like its "interface" involves some terminal use

On the other hand the website for "GPSy Pro" states that it runs well in Classic, and they are busily developing an OSX version.

I have the GPSMAP 60cs with USB interface and have not been able to conect at all! Every Mac GPS sw that i've run into uses a serial connection (modem, bluetooth) but none support USB!!

Anyone have a solution???

There is MacGPSPro. Also, a simple search on VersionTracker for GPS resulted in these results.
