Default Garmin GPSmap 60CS question

Just bought one of these.
1) The software that comes with it, is only for PC. I have a mac. Went to the website to download it but in there it says its only for pc too. Any suggestions besides buying a pc?

2) I dont know how to enter coordinates to it. Can you tell me how?
Will post more questions later.

Hmmm, don't know much that would help you with the Mac. Is there a PC emulator out there? Kind of like the Linux stuff? How about Virtual Machine; will it run on a Mac?

I've never used a 60, so I can't tell you how to enter coordinates, but any GPS I've ever worked with was very intuitive. Is there a menu item like "Waypoints" or "Mark"?

Here's one option, but it's not free.

This one isn't free either.

HERE'S a good tech article on running Windows apps on a Mac. Looks like those two I posted fared the worst of the four tested.
