I
would love to hear just WHY Route 66 sucks so bad. I'm inclined to buy it and give it a try, and, if they are a listening and responsive company, I'd also provide ample feedback to improve the product. If Windows GPS software companies notice Route 66 selling a lot of units, that certainly can be incentive in itself to port their software to Mac.
I prefer to support the Mac platform out of principal. For instance, I don't have a PC just for gaming, like many "die-hard" Mac users do. If we want our platform to flourish, we must support it with our wallet.
Expanding on my tangent, I propose that we Mac users DO support the Mac platform with our wallets
better than PC users do with the Windows platform. Why? Because I believe piracy to be a
much much much smaller problem on the Mac.
