Mac compatible PDA- for cycling trips using GPS (Lands end to John O'Groats

I am planning to cycle from Lands end to John O'Groats, next year.
I would like to take all the maps on a PDA, are there any that someone has used (mac compatible) that can use readily available OS mapping files.

Looks like the garmin might be the one to choose

  • Best/most compatible pda for macosx

    From everybody's experience, what's the best pda for mac osx? I'm looking into upgrading from my palm zire 71...
    thanks!

    I'd recommend anything Palm.
    I don't advise getting into the added complexity involved in trying to use a Pocket PC or Windows Mobile device with a Mac, despite the Mark/Space code, unless one already has such a "Windows-powered" device.
    Besides, if you're using a Zire, you already understand the Palm platform.
    Good luck!

  • Mac pro 13 (2014) or Mac Air (2014) for basic Photoshop use

    I am a college senior about to enter the advertising industry and want to get a Mac as it is the industry standard in the ad world and to brush up on my Photoshop skills. I am looking for a mac computer priced between $1,000-$1,500 with education discount. Please let me know what you think would be an acceptable comp for basic photo shop and Imovie editing. The primary use of this computer will be word docs and watching Netflix etc. very low use programs. Please let me know what builds would be best for this very moderate PS use. Thank you in advance for your help!

    RAM and some serious PCIe-SSD storage will help Aperture/LR. But I am use to spreading things out, learned long ago the benefits on concurrent and never reading+writing though didn't have todays 1.2Gb SSD to play with.
    Was not to move the thread,  but to ask there also for first hand on how they like the 2013 iMac now. I just don't feel comfortable spending that much when I know Mac Pro is designed for heavy use, better thermals, IS upgradeable, and will last longer.

  • Best mac compatible mouse for photoediting?

    I am new to photoediting and just purchased Lightroom 5. I own a MacBook Pro and am wondering if those of you who have tried different mouses over the years have a favorite one best suited for editing. I am not a professional, just an enthusiastic beginner.
    Thanks!

    I don't think any particular mouse is better than another for photo editing. You probably want a two button mouse with a scroll wheel but this is the basic mouse anyway. Some people like more buttons to attach keyboard shortcuts and the like but it's never seemed worth it to me. Go cheap and simple is my recommendation.

  • Mac-compatible plug-in for feathered-wipe video transitions?

    Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible alternative for SpiceMaster for creating feathered wipe video transitions? I've just been handed off a job (let's just say the company who started it is "no longer in the picture") and all they used feathered wipe via the SpiceMaster plug-in about 100-150 times (in a 15 minute video — sigh). Anyways, I can't change the visual direction of the project, I just have to clean up the mess. We're Mac-only and the SpiceMaster plug-in isn't available on the Mac.
    While one option is to use a liner wipe Video Effect (which allows for the feather), because of the amount of transitions in this job, that's not only a major pain in the arse in itself, but having to move clips in alternating tracks and overlap the footage, etc. becomes a huge headache when they decide to change the edit (as, all of a sudden, the alternating of the clips to different tracks goes all out of wack).
    Anyway, I'm hoping someone could suggest a Video Transition plug-in that would allow me to do feathered wipes. It'd mean the difference between a quick replacing of the SpiceMaster transition with whatever plug-in I could use vs. a nightmare of a project using the linear wipe Video Effect.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!
    Kristin.

    Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the gradient wipe, but was unsuccessful in attaining the desired effect. Here's a quick screencap to show what I'm seeing:
    The problem is, this results in a very narrow wipe. I mean, it's no longer a fine line between image1 and image2, there is some feather, but I really need to feather it out. The gradient I created is the same dimensions as the sequence I'm working in, and is a gradient from 100% black on the left side to pure white on the right, with a nice gradient in between. But, when I use this, it's almost like the source gradient is squished in (on the width) resulting in a very narrow feathered wipe.
    Below is an example of the rendered video as it was when using SpiceMaster to create the feathered wipe. The first image is the image directly before the wipe starts, the second image the image directly after the end of the wipe, and the third image is a capture mid-wipe. As you can see, there is a very wide feather during the transition as opposed to what is seen in the screen capture above.
    Am I doing something wrong when creating my custom gradient? It seems like, since my source file is a nice, wide gradient, it should result in a wide feather, but for some reason it seems to squish down into a narrow feather?
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Kristin.

  • ABC analysis for Cycle Counting.

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I am facing a problem from the user. While doing the ABC analysis for cycle counting using the Transaction MIBC, he is getting an error " table T159c is not maintained for plant XXXX". when i checked it SPRO cycle counting is not done for that particular plant.
    My question is : Where do we maintainc CC Physical inv indicator ? I have checked at material level in Gen.Plant/Sloc view, it is not maintained . so may be they have maintained at Plant level. where do we maintain at plant level.?

    Hi
    1) Maintain the Percentages against A,B,C,D cycle counting indicators in OMCO
    2) Perform  MICN to schedlue the batch input session for Creation of physical Inventory documents
    3) MIBC-For ABC analysis for Cycle counting .
    Note : the percentages maintained in OMCO will decide on the classification of the material as to when the Physical inventory needs to be done based on either the consumtion values/Requirement values
    Regards

  • My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work.  Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

    My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work.  Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

    If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
    I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
    First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
    Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
    Works about 50% of the time.
    It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

  • Best Mac compatible cell phone/PDA?

    I'm in the market for a new cell phone/PDA and I need some help. I'm currently considering the Treo 700P because of it's smooth, trouble-free integration with the Mac OS using The Missing Sync (http://www.markspace.com/).
    It seems like the Treo 700P will do everything I need it to except for allowing me to check and send emails while on the road. Although this is possible with EVDO, I think my carrier, Verizon Wireless, charges about $25 per month for this service, which makes it way too expensive for the small amount of time I'll be using that feature.
    Another solution is a device with WiFi capabilities, which will allow me to check and send emails at various hot spots, like hotels. I know that you can add WiFi capability to the 700W, but I've heard that the Windows OS doesn't play very nicely with Macs.
    To recap, here's what I need in a cell phone/PDA solution.
    1. Dependable
    2. Mac compatible
    3. Able to integrate with Mail and Address Book
    4. Will allow me to check and send emails cost effectively
    Given these parameters, what do you recommend?
    Thanks,
    Kelly

    I have a Treo 700p and I love it. I have had it since early September. I sync it with three Macs and it integrates nicely with iCal, Address book, etc. I use Missing Sync to sync. You can get Missing Sync at http://www.markspace.com
    I can't claim the 700p is the best smart phone for use with the Mac because its the only one I have tried, but it works well for me.

  • Most Compatible PDA with Mac OS X Tiger?

    I have tried the Missing Sync software to sync my Dell Axim with my PowerBook with only marginal results. I am interested in buying a Palm TX but have read that there might be some compatibility issues with it as well. What is the best PDA for syncing with a PowerBook? Which is the most compatible out of the box?
    Thanks.

    Am I to believe the only way I can sync my iphone with my mac is to upgrade to snow leopard?

    Hi Nick: If you are using the MacBook Pro as listed in your signature, you can update from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6). And, unfortunately, 10.5 is the minimum requirement.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

  • How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

    Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS.  I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys.  I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason.  Where on Earth can I change this? 
    If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality? 
    Thanks again guys and gals!

    As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in.  Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed  to change it.
    However I did find this tip:
    Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
    The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

  • Compatible printers for Mac mini (Mac's)

    Where can I find a list of compatible printers for Mac. My current Windows printer is a Canon LBP-1120 and cannot use it with my Mac mini. So its probably time to get another printer for my Macs.

    I should add that there are a number of printers that are compatible and that don't necessarily appear to be so as a result of third-party drivers. This includes, if I'm not mistaken, some Canon models which can be plugged in and selected in Printer setup.
    Others, such as at least some Epson, HP and Lexmark models, are supplied with Windows and MacOS drivers (you need to make sure they're for the right version of MacOS) or the box will be labelled such that it indicates PC/Mac compatibility.
    You might take a quick look at the printers offered through the online Apple store (under Mac accessories) to get an idea of which makes to look at. This will only tell you about current models of course, but should at least prove a reliable starting point.
