[pct-l] maps & software for Garmin & Mac

[Bill Burge]

Yeah, I see stuff about open source, cobble together, etc and look at  
the cost of the Garmin maps and I consider trying to make it work...   
THEN...

I consider what my time is worth and wonder if saving $100 while I  
cuss at the side of a trail because the hacked together stuff is  
showing it's problems and the Garmin maps just work.

I figure in the cost of the Garmin maps I'll need and bill my current  
customer an additional hour of my time and we all get over it and  
continue on with our lives...
