But, they are not the type of GPS units as the Garmins, Magellans, 
etc., the ones that display a map of your location and guide you to 
your destination, where your computer is only used to update the 
maps.  I'm not in favor of people using one of the sensor units and 
then having an active laptop in the car, it's too much of a 
distraction, please stay off any road that I'm on!

I understand a company called TomTom does make GPS units with 
displays that are Mac compatible, I've also heard (but not sure of 
the source or it's reliability) that they are not very good.
