Charlie, do you know if your Mac is an intel based chip, or does G4/G5 sound familiar?

Great, it's an intel. That means that you can run windows programs on your mac with the help of one of two programs.

www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
www.vmware.com/products/fusion/

I use parallels, but I think Fusion would be just as good. There are demo versions you can download and try before you buy. Realspeed runs beautifully for me in Parallels on my Mac.

There are a couple of other ways to run windows programs on your mac, but I think Parallels or Fusion are the simplest.

Hi Charlie,

As others have said, running Realspeed in a windows virtual machine works well, and it's what I use. Parallels is really seamless and easy to use. VMWare I found not to be so easy.

However there are some other options for your mac:

1) GPS Action Replay (gpsactionreplay.free.fr/)
2) GPSResults (www.manfred-fuchs.de/download_e.html)
3) KA72 (www.ka72.com/)
