On the Garmin blog, Chet tantalizes us with coy references to Mac-compatible hardware and software, especially a software product code-named “Bobcat,” to be announced this week at Macworld (Gizmodo).

Garmin’s been behind on its now two-year-old promise to provide Mac compatibility to current hardware, but it seems that some things have been happening on that front while I was busy these past few months: from this tip at Mac OS X Hints, I learn that the POI Loader for Mac is no longer in beta and that Mac versions of MapInstall and MacManager are now available.
