    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? ;)

    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.

    MACALLEN  Safari 4 came out of Public Beta and was released in production as of today (June 8, 2009). Assuring compatibility with the Plugin would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank for the continued support of us Mac users!

    TOM02474  Seems to not yet work with Safari 4 Public Beta. Test page says it's not installed. Firefox passes the Garmin test. So using Safari 4 with MapMyRide is still on hold.

    VOXMAC  A Workaround to have it works With Safari 4, is to remove Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.

    Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin must be left in the folder.
