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.

Garmin Usb Driver Mac Os X 10 11

1. 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 ‘Garmin Communicator Plugin‘.

When it’s downloaded you can test it on this test page: http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/test/

Just showing the transfer process between the Forerunner 405 and the MAC. The latest drivers from Garmin have made this experience just as good, if not better than on a PC. #avoidingchores #garmin. The garmin dongle is a USB. Garmin has software for Intel-based Mac OS 10.6.8 or later for ANT agent but the Ipad uses different software. I guess that my question should be, is there a work around for this.

2. 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 ‘Garmin ANT Agent’. 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 Garmin fitness software for free.

Garmin Mac Os X Usb Driver

when I connect my Garmin Edge 705 to the MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.4) the device won't mount as USB-drive instead it just goes into charging mode. This wasn't the case earlier with the MacBook Pro (>10.7.3) and this isn't the case with a MacBook running still on Snow Leopard.

Inside download free. Therefore I assume that something has changed in the Mac OS X 10.7.4 particularly in the Finder? Does anyone else have noticed that too or better yet has a solution to this issue?
