I am looking to purchase a Garmin etrex colour GPS for use whilst
cycling. I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running OSX10.3.9 and VPC 7.0.1 and
use tracklogs. Does anyone have experience of using this combination?
Good or bad please!

All bad.  It's been reported here that for the most part the Garmin GPS
units, they don't won't work at all with VPC nor are they supported by
the vendor.

Best bet is to buy a MacOS X compatible GPS instead and not bother with
VPC.

Thanks for your reply. Which GPS units are compatible with MacOSX and
what about mapping software?

For GPS and Mac OS X start here:

USB is hit and miss with VPC. I have spent some of today trying to get
Activesync 4.2 (beta) running in VPC/XP to talk to an Axim X51 PDA
without success.
