Greetings. I have read some posts that provide guidance on registering windows-based Maptech Chart Kit Companion CDs on a mac, and found these directions:
http://www.gpsnavx.com/pdf/Register.pdf
I have a brand-new Mac Book Pro (lucky me), and three previously unopened chart kit companion cds, all purchased within the last year. I followed the instructions above, downloaded the "Register" application, and when it prompts me to insert a BSB4 or BSB5 chart, I insert the Maptech CD into the drive. It whirls for a moment, then Register gives me a message that "A BSB4 or BSB5 chart CD could not be located". Are the Maptech companion CDs not BSB4 or BSB5? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to install VMWare Fusion and Windows and register them in Windows? If I do this, can I then access the charts in my Mac OSX?
Thanks in advance for any help...headed to the BVIs next Sunday and am anxious to get this working before I leave (without buying additional digital charts if possible).
