I use Route 66 a lot planning journeys around the UK, however I've checked the Route 66 website (www.66.com) and found that they no longer sell the Mac version!

Lots of versions for mobile phones/PDA's, and just one version for Windows. I did find a comment in the support section which says:

"Please note that the "ROUTE 66 Route 2004" software for Macintosh computers was not tested on computers using Mac OS version 10.4 (Tiger) and therefore application errors may occur.

Please also note that this product does not run on Intel-based Macintosh computers."


Is that it then? I'll need to call the Government and request that no more roads are built so I don't get lost....

Is it a case that most people use dedicated GPS navigation systems, and that desktop versions aren't worth producing?

Shucks.

I think most people have switched to the more regularly updated not to mention FREE internet route planning services or have bought a SatNav type system (ether dedicated or used in conjunction with a PDA) to use while on route.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
