    My tires thru the years

    Left to right: Metzeler MEZ4. Ugh! Avon Azero. RIP, alas! PR2. OK, not as good as Azero's. PR2. Got holed by a 1/4-20 bolt. PR3. Meh. Hated it thru last half. Currently have maybe 1k on some Bridgestone t30 gt's that I like a lot. But time will tell.

    I need MAC mapping software to build routes for my Zumo 550

    Actually you can build and save a route right in Copilot fairly easily. And it will bluetooth the voice into your Sena to boot. I'm getting a Nexus 7 to run it on. This will allow portrait view on a 7" screen. You could do the same with a mini ipad.
