[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1581339, member: 56379"] Probably the most important thing to consider when upgrading a computers OS is...will any software or hardware you currently use become non-compatible with the upgraded OS. AND...the further you upgrade the OS...the greater the chance that some software (apps) or hardware will no longer work. So if you currently have 10.6.8 installed...and the most current Mac OS version is 10.9.2...if you go all the way to 10.9.2 you could have some issues. I'm saying this "in a vacuum"...since I do not know your computing situation. If you don't have any special apps installed (other than the Garmin)..and if you don't have other external hardware (other than the Garmin)...then upgrading to 10.9.2 could be trouble free. Bottom line. If you have some apps installed (things that you may have purchased & installed)...then you need to check what versions of the Mac OS these app versions are compatible with. To do this...check this website: [url=http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a]Application compatibility table - RoaringApps[/url] HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
