GPS Unit dismounts - anybody got a fix?

Basically my girlfriend and I both have GPS units. I have a Garmin and she has a Bryton. We have supposedly downloaded all the latest software off the respective websites, but when we try uploading the information to a Mac the remote drives disconnect. Apart from the disconcerting messages about damage to the device it is incredible frustrating. When I upload to a PC I have no problems. I used to be able to use Windows on my Mac (using parallels) to upload, but due to a software update this is no longer possible.

What exercise tracking products do people use?

I'm a product designer looking into the products we use to track the way we exercise and what kind of data/feedback we want from them. I've compiled a short survey to find out what products people use and why they use them and would appreciate it if you could take 5 mins of your time to give me some answers.

Obviously most of you will be cyclists here, but feel free to make reference to any other sports/activities you do.

Of course I know you're all intelligent people and so don't want to limit it to tick boxes, so if you've got any thoughts you want to share, just comment below too!
