This article details the main differences between the Memory-Map 6 application when run under a Windows environment and a Mac OS environment.
Please be aware that the Mac version of Memory-Map 6 is an upgraded version of the Memory-Map iOS app rather than a direct 'port' of the Memory-Map PC application. As such some features may have slightly less options or work in slightly different ways between the PC and Mac applications.
