I'm quite pleased with the Shake! 350 GPS. It is indeed possible to update the database using a Mac or Linux PC: just download the update file, place it on a Secure Digital (SD) memory card, put the memory card in the GPS, and finally instruct the GPS to load the update.
I was concerned about the Centrality Atlas II GPS receiver and its reception quality. The JROAD models use the more famous SiRF III receiver, known for its ability to get a position fix fast and hold onto GPS signals. But the Atlas II seems quite adequate, at least with limited testing.
It's a little too easy to turn the unit on accidentally. The touch screen is also a little too sensitive on occasion. And the English translations are sometimes odd. However, given the very limited market, this unit is still quite useful and a good value.
