Touch-screen Garmin 5000 Series? I'll be...
Well, I’ll be damned. Apparently Garmin is also introducing a touch-screen version of the 4000 Series, already hot stuff on several counts. At METS I think I mumbled something about how the new large-label interface would work nicely with touch, but no one even hinted that it was imminent. In fact, there’s nothing on Garmin’s site about 5xxx, but a Google search on “Garmin 5212” finds a number of stores taking preorders, including Tiger GPS above (which also has a useful run down on all the new models). Garmin is clearly not messing around in 2007. (Big thanks to Eric for this tip.)
Garmin promised Mac OS X support a year ago at MacWorld. Yet still no Mac OS X support yet for Mapsource.

Not that Mapsource is anything to write home about. Garmin Training Center will soon be available..
