Is using Crossover for Windows on Mac like running a VM for WinXP on Vista/Win7? If so and by "windows maps" you mean the files handled by MS to load .img files to your device go here [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for great Tutorials on using MS. If not, post again and someone more experienced with Mac OS and Crossover maybe can help more.

Yes, it´s similar to VM.
I´m starting with MAc. My problem is to use the maps in MS with Crossover in Mac. I don´t know were to put the files in Mac HD to be used by MS.

OK, if its like a VM in Windows, you should be able to determine the path in Windows by right-clicking the MS program; Properties; Shortcut and look at "Start in", go there and create a "Maps" folder if it doesn't already exist, to dump your files into for MS to find them. MapSource will look for these files differently depending on what virtual Windows version you're running in your Mac, XP or Vista/7. Also have a look at this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Edit: Thought i'd have another look at this as your statements "Yes, it's similar to VM" and "I'm starting with Mac" seemed somewhat contradictory. I've done some research on CrossOver Mac and it seems it's not a VM, it's an Emulator hence you said "I'm starting with Mac". So what i've suggested above may be less than helpful. However, if you know your way around the mac os, you may know how to determine the path and locate or create the "Maps" folder anyway. Cheers.

SiriusXM-WX is a North America only Sat. service, maybe parts of South America sneek in. You maybe can get the internet-based broardcasts in EU but perhaps that requires an american IP address. There is an Apple, and i think Android app also, but don't know much about those either. Generally the answer with XM Satellite in EU would be it's not available in any official way.
