JOHNNY ROCKET  Didn't find my brand new Nuvi 205 at first. Updated firmware on a windows laptop, then back over to the mac and it still didn't see it. Closed and reopened Webupdater and it's seeing it just fine now.

FRANKNS  Worked fine on my Nuvi 350.

A few moments of concern when the start up screen had multiple, tiled images, but they resolved into the usual start-up screen.

Reboot was fine, though it took quite a while to re-acquire satellites.

STANW  This version (2.0.5) allows my Mac OS 10.5.6 to update my new Garmin. Fast work by a company working had to better support Macintosh.

FARGILAN  Your system thinks you have version 1.1 installed and won't install 1.0.2 because it thinks it's 'older'. Just delete the package receipt in the Library/Receipts folder. It references an incorrect version (1.1) instead of 1.0.1.

MGROSSI  Same problem version 2.02 is older than 2.01

Garmin if you are going to offer support hire somebody that knows what is doing.

Shame on you

ABBOTT  I don't have a previous version installed, yet the installer, after identifying my boot volume as installable, says "there's nothing to install." Very strange.

WHYTOI  Used Pacifist and extracted the application enclosed. No ideas why they bothered to use an installer when there's just the standalone application. There's no extension or other external components.

WAMEZ  I know that Garmin's been promising Mac support for a while, but I've only been aware of them since Garmin Training Center for Mac came out. I got a Forefunner 305 a month ago and I've been nothing short of impressed. The unit itself is amazing, but the integration with the Mac has been flawless. Training Center, WebUpdater...they just work.

It helps that there are some other enterprising individuals (the developers for TrailRunner and LoadMyTracks) who have opened up the possibilities even more.

I never imagined that I'd be in the market for a GPS device for the car, but after my experience so far, I'm considering it. If you want new customers, this is the way to get them.
