Does anyone know if it is possible to run wxworx software on a Macbook using virtual PC or something like it? I emailed wxworx and they told me that I would need a PC with windows, but I figured someone here might know a way that it can be done.

I have WX WorX working under OSX 10.5.2 and VMWARE running XP SP2
.. I have had lots of issued w/GPS and OSX. I have also had WX Worx under bootcamp after some video drivers added.

I want to get GRL 2/3 working soon.

[edit] Running Macbook Pro in case that makes any change.

I also run macs. I am curious to know whether you think the issues are related to Leopard version or not.
Did these occur also using Tiger?
What specifically are the issues you are talking about?

Yeah, I have WxWork running perfectly on my Mac Book Pro with Parallels. I'm not using any GPS software on the mac, but using one of those window stick on GPS.. Works great.. My iPhone works great out their too.

You can see a radar grab from my iphone on the March 30/31 reports thread..

Thanks all for the help! Hopefully I can get it running good before my crazy semester of school ends, so I can finally start chasing again!!

Eric,

My main issues were with the GPS. My bluetooth Holux paired with my mac OSX but not the XP side. I couldn't get it to port over. Everything else works in Tiger and Leopard. I have not tried a standard USB gps.
