Ok the instructions that come with the Garmin forerunner are completely wrong, the CD is useless (it has the manual but no software) and the Garmin support website is not much help either. There are all sorts of discussions on the Garmin site for Mac users about ‘it does work with Lion’, ‘it doesn’t work with Lion’ and so on. At one point it even had me downloading a PC.exe file! The answer is that it does work very well with OSX but there are two separate pieces of software that need to be installed. The first piece of software is a Safari/Firefox/Chrome Plugin that lets your browser talk to your Garmin. You can download it from garmin.com under ‘Support’ menu then ‘Software’ then ‘Software for Mac OS’ then ‘‘. When it’s downloaded you can test it on this test page: 2. Jmol is one of the best chemical structure drawing software that is based on open-source java viewer. Jmol is an interactive and powerful web browser applet with featured for crystals, chemicals, biomolecules, and materials. Chemical structure drawing software free for mac. The second piece of software is a USB driver that talks to the Antenna. Again, you get it from ‘Support’ menu then ‘Software’ then ‘Software for Mac OS’ then ‘. After the installation of the Garmin USB driver software and the Garmin Communicator Plugin, you have to check if the installation was successful. Connect the device to a free USB port on your PC. Depending on which Garmin device you have, it's possible that you have to turn on your device manually. This setup combines the initial install and updates for both the USB GPS drivers and the USB Data Card Programmer drivers. Garmin GPS USB Drivers support Windows XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit, and Windows 7 64-bit. When it’s downloaded you can ‘pair’ with your Garmin device as per the instructions. Finally if you want you can go to the mac app store and download the for free. Have a new Mac and not able to connect Garmin Express to Garmin Connect for my Forerunner 310XT. Afraid the advice here does not work now. Seems to install and pair to the device ok but when I go to sign in to Garmin Connect to transfer data, I get an error message saying “There was a problem connecting to the Garmin servers. We’re unable to sign you in because our servers are unavailable at this time.” Clearly a software issue but Garmin’s support team not helping at all (will not refer this to software team because I don’t have any logs for the device – of course I don’t the application has not installed properly)! Issue has been ongoing for days, product support is totally useless. If it isn’t fixed I will be giving the device away and buying a Suunto and saying bye bye to Garmin for good. UPDATE Oct 18 2017 Just got off the phone with Garmin software support. ![]() Garmin Usb Drivers Windows 10
Unfortunately, I still cannot get it to work. I had the 305 prior and was having pretty good success using the prior Garmin Training software and the USB cradle. I first thought that the 310 would work with the old software, but then realized there is no cradle and the USB cord is only for charging, not data transfer.j I have installed the Garmin Ant Agent and Garmin Express software on by of my Macs, hoping I could at least get one to work. The Mac Mini registers the Ant stick, but usually does not recognize the 310. Garmin Express doesn’t recognize even the Ant stick, so it cannot speak with the 310. The Macbook Pro does not register the Ant stick, with either GAA or Express software. I am trying to interface my Macs to a Garmin Etrex H GPSr, for which I have bought an RS232 cable. I have now tried two USB-to-RS232 adapters. The first was a Keyspan adapter which advertised 'plug-and-play' support for Macs. However, I found no drivers on the Keyspan website, and their technical support people confirmed that there weren't any for my Macs. Next I tried one of unknown manufacture, but which employed an FTDI chipset. Their website has VCP drivers which should support Intel and other Macs running OS 10.4 or later. Garmin Nuvi Driver DownloadHowever, the installation instructions must apply to 10.4 as the screenshots don't match up with Leopard. The system profiler can see the adapter, but I can't seem to configure it as a COM port. I'm on the point of giving up, but entering accurate co-ordinates into the GPS manually is is a real pain — in the thumb! Any help would be much appreciated.
