[Ti] OT - mac & gps

[John Griffin]

Have you looked at:

Actually, if you enter "gps japan maps" in the Google search field  
you will find quite a few hits. Enter "Garmin" or "Tom Tom" as well,  
you could cut down the link list considerably.

The reason I got a Garmin over the Tom Tom is that the Garmin built- 
in maps have much more detail when it comes to rural roads and  
trails. They also seem to have a more up-to-date list of POIs.

Good Luck...
