Hi! New on this forum and i've search for threads about using VEO250 DC and Mac.
Has anyone any info if Oceanic will release a Ocean Log- Mac-version?

I've tried to use Mac-Dive but with no luck. It doesn't work. They seems to have very dedicated developers so hopefully, they will find a solution.
 
Oceanlog for Mac has been requested many times by Mac users. It seems to be requested every few months but doesn't seem to be a priority for Oceanic.

You must remember that Mac is second in sales by a huge margin. It really isn't cost effective for a product that is a nich product to begin with to invest in a even smaller group.

Think of it this way the manufacturer markets a product to all scuba divers. A subset of that group purchases the product. Of that subset another subset within the first want to download to their PC of that group the majority own Windows based PC.
Even if the manufacturer wanted to market the software to the minority group of divers that use Mac based PC, they would then need to charge you through the nose to recover the investment.
It's not good business when the windows software is free.
Some people have found other solutions if you read some of the older threads.
