Compatibility with Garmin gps

FYI Some of the Garmin gps software is not compatible with Leopard. Their webpage says Mac compatible. Maybe pre Leopard, not Leopard. Had to do a firmware update on my wife's PC.

The only 3rd party apps you can install on your iPhone is what is available via the iTunes app store. There are a number of 3rd party GPS navigation apps available for the iPhone with maps used by the application stored locally on the iPhone with the application.

When the 5.0 version came out a notice was sent to my laptop stating it was not compatable with Garman GPS updates at this time. I would like to know if that has been fixed allowing Garman GPS updates now? I did not update to 5.0 for that reason.

I did not update to 5.0 Firefox because it said it was not compatable with the Garman GPS updates at this time

Why can't I update my Garmin GPS data with version 5?

I'm trying to update my Garmin GPS data and Firefox 5 isn't compatible!!!! This is very upsetting. I DO NOT like version 5. I can't get the Lexmark toolbar, either. I wrote to Firefox about wanting to switch back to version 4, along with a lot of other people. I want to download version 4 and update my GPS!!!!!!!

Try using this extension to force compatibility.

Check and tell if its working.
IF the problem persists install earlier versions from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Garmin GPS not compatible with Firefox - any hope in the future?

Hi there, I've just bought a new Garmin GPS for car. To start it up you need to register the unit. To register the unit you have to download their plug in. When I try to I get a message to say that it isn't compatible with Firefox 5. I'd rather not change from Firefox, so I'm just wondering if it will be compatible in the near future? It appears to have been compatible with Firefox 3.6+ - so perhaps you could tell me how to revert to that if possible for now? Thank you, Eva

Compatibility of the Garmin Communicator Plugin is up to Garmin. Look for an updated version of that Plugin at the Garmin web site.

Has anyone worked with communicating with a Garmin GPS using their protocol?

I need to obtain current position (lat/long/elev) and Waypoint data from a Garmin GPSmap 76CS using the Garmin protocol. Read only, I do not need to write. Any help would be appreciated.

I have attached a series of vis that I use to retrieve the waypoints from a Gecko Garmin gps. I think it should work with a 76CS model, although Garmin has the bad habit to change the data format quite often...
I also have some utilities to convert to UTM coordinates. Ask if you need them.

My firefox is preventing to install Garmin GPS program. How Can I temporary disable firefox to all Garmin program?

Hi:
I like to install my Garmin GPS program. Firefox is preventing to install this. How Can I solve this problem?
Thanks

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Compatability With IE

Does anyone know if the new iweb 2.0.2 has solved the compataility issue with IE?
Thanks
Bill

Thanks for the JavaScript hint, Bill. I keep an old IBM ThinkPad around to program a Garmin GPS device. (Still no Mac support for their software). I usually check Win machine compatibility using 'IE 5.2 for Mac' on my PowerPC after any revision of my club web site. When a member reported issues, I fired up the ThinkPad and observed problems likely due to my limited knowledge of how iWeb functions. Thanks for taking time to give me some insight!

Garmin GPS Model: 1370T SKU: 9904727

I note this can be purchased for $89. Does it come with lifetime upgrades.
I have a nuvi that is about 4 years old, and recently determined that it needs to be updated, when it took me 20 miles longer, due to new roads.
I then learned that it is going to cost me $49 for a one time update, and $89 for a lifetime update. Pretty disappointed based upon the original cost of this electronic item, that is non reliable.
So I am considering all options, as the product I bought, Garmin Nuvi serial number 1DN283094 is now basically worhtless.
So, if the subject item can be purchased, for $89, maybe Garmin will earn my repeat business.
Thank You
Peace

Hello BananaTom,
The model that you’ve indicated does include Lifetime Traffic, but it does not have Lifetime Maps. With most Garmin models of GPS, these features are indicated in the model number by a “T” for traffic updates and an “M” for map updates. You’ll find many that include one or the other, and some that include both. That is a good place to start in looking for one with Lifetime Maps, but I have also filtered a selection of Garmin GPS units that include Lifetime Maps for you. You can find that selection here.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,

Garmin GPS Updater opens everytime I open pages????

Have recently updated my iMac to Mavericks and the new Pages and now everytime I open Pages the Updater for our Garmin GPS opens in front of the Pages window. Does anyone know why this might be?

Weird. Discuss with Garmin. A new kind of malware?

Garmin, GPS & Googleearth

Hi!
I want to plan and transfer waypoints & tracks from Googleearth to a Garmin GPS without using Windows.
First of all, is this possible? Anyone tried this?
Second: What do I need for this? What device, what (free) software for converting and transferring? Is any USB Garmin capable of doing this?
Thanks alot!
Walter

DianneS, Welcome to the discussion area!
It sounds that using google and babel are easier and better than the garmin software and hence there is no advantage in waiting . Is that correct?
I need to access my GPS data today so there is no advantage for me to wait for a promised product.
...do you know if the zumo 550 holds any advantage over other motorbike versions?
Sorry but I have no experience with the Zumo 550 nor any Garmin motorbike products. I use the above recommended software with the Garmin eTrex Venture Cx.
If the Zumo 550 is similar to the StreetPilot c530 there is very little data which can be transferred to/from the computer. About the only thing you can download is POI (points of interest). You do this using Garmin's POI Loader and there is a Mac version of that utility. I have not tested that utility.

Garmin GPS recognized?

I have a Garmin GPS nuvi 255W. I have used the Garmin WebUpdater in the past. Recently my MBP does not recognize the unit when I connect the USB. The Garmin unit come on indicating a connection between the unit and the computer but there is not indication of a connection in the "Finder" file. The GPS unit shows a computer/unit connection for about 1 min and then turns on and goes to the map. I have tried two different USB ports, which have been used with a TomTom unit and another computer but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Sorry to bother all of you. After reading, what I wrote, I see that it is a Garmin unit problem and not computer related. What an idiot I am. In any case thanks for the opportunity to address this issue and then see my erro.

Can Garmin GPS map software (Windows application) run on an iMac? If so, how is it done?
