A few weeks back I upgraded to OSX 10.6 and all of a sudden GPSNavX wouldn't recognize my USB receiver. Obviously some 3rd party driver fell out of support under this OS. I've been using the same receiver for over 3 years and it is quite literally hardwired into my cabin top. I have a spare - same thing. Then I opened my other Mac GPS programs and they work flawlessly.
See my post above where I already wrote that perhaps Snow Leo is the culprit and not GPSNavX.
When I updated my iMac at home with OS X 10.6.(1) nearly all of my USB needed devices stopped working!
My Canon PIXMA MP800R printer scanner needed new drivers. The funny thing is that the old app for printing CDROMs/DVDs worked the latest one not!
My Canon PowerShot G10 and Canon EOS 400 (Rebel XT?? in the USA) crashes when importing pictures over USB
The Canon FD4000 negative, dia, APS scanner stopped working with Photoshop CS2. Though it works with VueScan.
Elgatos EyeTV Hybrid TV receiver stopps working!
My biggest problem is the GEMALTO electronic signing usb stick, which I need to do any online banking, just isn't recognized anymore!
I do have a lot of other USB devices scanners, Canon PIXMA 9500 Pro which I haven't tried yet.
And as my iMac is in-house I can't use it with any GPS device I have.
In my eyes it's the update to Snow Leopard that caused many USB drivers to crash! I don't think it's GPSNavX to blame here.
That's the reason I didn't upgrade my MacBook yet or my MSI Hackintosh!
