Their website says "Got a Mac'd ride? - RouteBuddy supports live tracking"
As well as "Easy to use interface"
I'm hoping this means they'll be good enough to include an interface designed for touchscreens. This could well be the answer to my prayers! lol

You gotta Pay to Play!
I'm sure that probably as more GPS software hit's the floor for Mac, the price will drop...

When my macbook arrives, I'll buy this for sure. It looks nice and you can download everything and there are maps for more then just u.s.a. and europe. So if you need a map next day.
Oh and there should be the intel binaries  |

So this would work on something like an iBook G4 with 1GHz-1.33GHz 512MB Ram?
Thanks,
