Well HOME is just as big a pile of rubbish on the Mac as it is on a PC but in answer to your question, it all works fine on a Mac.

Most of here at PGPS towers are Mac users so we're naturally keen that Mac support is provided on any device.

The 940 mounts as a drive so you can copy and paste files to it as necessary (POIs etc) and HOME is available in a OS X flavour.

I have a couple of macs and have no problem with Home, well apart from Home, but I believe it to be no better or worse than the Widows version. I do a lot of stuff through Finder and use Home for updates.

Same here, the internal and SD memory on my 720 show as separate drives on the desktop, easy to copy files back and forth.

I have tried to download the new map using Home and its gone mostly pear shaped, even the backup I did before the download seems not to work, as the original map had disappeared off the device. Having a look today and found a few backup folders, so dropped the map back in all by myself via finder, so at least I am back to square one, just waiting to see what Tom Tom have to say about the new map and its whereabouts :-)

Who ever came up with Home, well is probably lost somewhere. Ohh it makes me angry Evil or Very Mad

Thanks too all for the replies and it's sort of good to know that it dose work on my mac as I love it . but I am a bit disappointed that the home software is poor, so as I have both Windows XP and Mac what is the best and most stable and reliable OS to use

thanks
