	If you are technoid enough to run it (as Gene is, and I'm not), 
roadnav is a good app; I've been trying for ten years to find either an 
app that I can, or an emulator that can run Delorme, Garmin, and Maptech 
software *and* make them talk to a GPS.

	I tried long and hard a couple years back with CrossOverOffice 
(CXO); and got to where it would launch and run Garmin, Maptech, and 
Topo.com (but not Delorme) -- and couldn't enable any of them to talk to 
any of my GPSs. Maybe you'd have better luck now.

	One of the machines on my desk has a second hard drive that I can 
boot to XP when I want to bad enough; I'm in process of looking for a 
sturdy laptop with XP still on it for the car.

	The list for CXO is carried on Gmane; the one for roadnav (which 
is quite helpful, and not too busy) has its subscription site at :

	Good luck! And let us (especially me) know how you do.
