Not too much detail but having hunted around for a sat-nav system which was compatible with my Apple Mac, I'm pleased to confirm that the TomTom Go 710 is a perfect match.

I did first take the precaution of first downloading the latest version of the Mac version of TomTom's Home software (unimaginatively named "maclatest" but remained apprehensive until I sat the TomTom in its Home dock and connected it to my G4 laptop via the USB cable provided. End of. Full functionality immediately.

The same base doubles as a home charger for when I want to run on battery power and I also had no problem with any part of the setup - although I was disappointed not to be able to key in my full home address as my house has a name rather than a street number.

Critical to me, the speed camera warnings and speed limit alerts worked out of the box - although I will doubtless have to pay to update them at some point in the future. I also had no difficulty syncing with my Motorola V3 mobile 'phone.

The one compromise I knowingly took was to choose somewhat fatter TomTom over the slimline Garmin equivalent. The TomTom doesn't stow away in a suit pocket (but might in a big coat pocket) whereas the Garmin Nuvo looked as if it might.

But I got everything else I wanted and I can wholeheartedly commend this unit to Mac owners. FWIW, I got mine with a free remote control (worth £30) from Global Positioning Systems online for just £245 inc VAT and delivery and their service was excellent.
