I should add that the unit did not come with a disk. Originally I was going to order the Garmin disk but I read in several geocaching forums that the factory software/maps were inferior to some of the 3rd party maps.

...it will be used primarily to mark spots for duck hunting, deer stands, fishing, etc.

You do realize that you have to find those places bfore the GPS can mark it?/s

“I should add that the unit did not come with a disk.”

Garman normally provides downloads to update maps etc. Depending on what you bought.

GarmaN is undoubtedly the best GPS...but some Garman’s are better than others. Military GPS has been Garman, pretty much from the get-go. I will use only Garman. They are accurate. To within a baseball diamond.

To answer your actual question, take a look at Garmin Mapsource - various options.

Garmin has free (and otherwise) software for it here:

Garmin’s free BaseCamp is what, I think, you are looking for.

Also, here are all of Garmin’s Mac software options. Most are free.

The cable that you need is the standard USB A-to-Mini-B one so popular for digital cameras, pocket hard drives, etc., etc. Cheaply and commonly available.

If your real name is actually BUBBA and you fish in your native state of Georgia, I can see why you need a GPS. I heard the story about you, as related to me by your friend JUNIOR:

It seems that you and Junior went out in the Okefenokee Swamp to catch some catfish. You guys rented a boat and motor at the Alligator Fish Camp & Lodge on the eastern edge of the swamp. There were about 15 available to rent so you just picked one out.

You went out and BAM....found a new honey hole and loaded the boat with cats. When it was time to leave, you told Junior to mark the spot so you could find it next time. Junior said "OK".

An hour later you guys were back at the Camp and turned it the boat. On the way home, while tipping a couple of beers, you asked Junior if he marked the honey hole, to which he replied: "Yep....sure did. I MARKED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE BOAT."

You slammed on the brakes and the truck came to a screeching stop and you screamed at Junior: "You did what??? !!! ??? Junior, you are the dumbest idiot I ever knew !! What the hell are we going to do if we don't get the SAME BOAT next time?"

Yeppers...HERE'S YOUR SIGN, BUBBA. (it reads: get a GPS.)
