I have a Mac G4 Titanium, on which I've installed NavX and the BBS East Coast (USA) charts from the available dvd. Using the Keyspan serial adapter, I've been trying to sync up an admittedly very old Garmin 12XL, but it's not being recognised. Is this a case of the firmware in the handheld simply being too antiquated for the Mac and/or NavX to recognize it? I did follow Garmin tech's instructions about setting up the system configurations, etc. But, still nothing. (Note that I'm an electronics dummy, so any suggestions of soldering the freem wire to the flux capacitor, bypassing the hamalstaf valve, will be met with a blank 'huh?' look on my face...)

Would the USB 'hockey puck' unit available direct from NavX work with this set-up? Anyone familiar with it?

Sincere thanks, --DS
