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? ;)

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.

DAVE CREEK  I also had an unsuccessful installation. I tried the “Test Page” and nothing happened. I then tried going to“ https://my.garmin.com/geocaching/geoSearch.htm” and when I had logged in I got an HTTP STATUS 500 page with the description. “The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.” I suspect it's a Java version error. I'm Java version 10 using which I think is the latest version.

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.

M CHANG  Visited "More Information" link and looked at Garmin's Web site. It says "Mac support coming soon." HUH?!?

Went ahead, downloaded plug-in and installed.

Fired up Safari and went to the test page. Said the plug-in was not installed or the browser is not compatible.

Switched over to Firefox. Same results.

So I can't do anything with this. Yippee.
