    MIKENCOLO  I have a Mac w/ Safari 4.0.3

    I could get the Garmin Communicator plug-in to load and Safari recognizes it fine.

    Garmin's website says it can't find it.

    I tried the tip of removing the Flip4Mac webpage plug-in, put that didn't work.

    Finally ran uninstall for Flip4Mac and completely removed it.

    Reran Garmin Communicator Plug-in install, and now everything works.

    I'll just have to remember this next time there is a map update available - yeah right...LOL

    Hope this helps someone else.

    CHRISTOFER  Free. Easy to use. Integrates with Google maps, garmin.com and geocaching.com (and probably a lot more places that I don't use).

    DIGITAL.PARDOE  I have to support Garmin here, the plugin works flawlessly. Just remember to restart Safari once the plugin has installed. The website it works with is:

    https://my.garmin.com/geocaching/geoSearch.htm

    I don't know why the other reviewers had a problem with it.

    RANDYHARRIS  Excellent!

    I don't know if it was the new Safari 4.0.4 or the new build of Communicator - but this is the first time that this plugin has ever worked for me in Safari.

    DORKYPANTS  I also find that the Garmin web test page fails to detect the plugin in Safari 4.02 but succeeds in Firefox 3.5.x. Regardless, the plugin works in Safari, at least with bikeroutetoaster.com . Conclusion: Garmin's web test page lies!

    FRANKO  Once again Safari 4.03 does not load the plug in (2.8.2) and Garmin's test page cannot detect it. Firefox 3.5.3 however loads it fine and the plug-in is detected.

    Following the tip from Mikencolo: I put Flip4Mac's plugins into a temp folder (Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin and Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin)

    Restarted Safari and success, the plug in is detected.

    Now who'll fix the problem: Telestream or Garmin? ;)
