I've just brought a MacBook and found that memory map is not compatible and have no plans to bring out a range which would be compatible. Are there any other digital mapping applications compatible with Apple Macs?

This is a tough one. Anquet and Memory-Map are obviously the big players in the digital mapping world, and neither have a Mac-platform compatible software. The other big hitter in the digital map world is Garmin, whose increasingly accurate MapSource TOPO mapping includes OS-sourced contour data (see picture), making it much more useful for outdoor applications. The folk at Garmin say it's possible to convert the TOPO into Mac Compatible format, but it first needs to be unlocked on a PC and transferred over. For more info see www8.garmin.com/macosx/.If it's GPS compatibility you're looking for, an American company called RouteBuddy do a range of Mac-compatible GPS mapping systems made by TomTom and Garmin, which, while not maps in the outdoor sense (they are base maps like those used by in-car GPS) do allow you to synchronise your GPS with your computer.

I'm told that it is possible to run memory map on a mac, but you need a windows emulator which I don't think is that cheap. MM don't provide technical support for this, but if you have a search on their support forum, you will find some references to it.

How good are products like the Grivel Spider and Cotswold Magic Spiker and are they suitable for hill-walking?
