Has anyone tried to use this cable with a Mac? I have other Garmin products that I can connect with standard cables for software updates.

I have not tried with a MAC. The problem with this cable is that it is for older non supported technology. In order to use it you must have an older computer as well. Call Garmin directlyand they should be able to answer your specific question.

Actually this unfortunately didn't work for me. However it did work by replacing the GCD file with an older version. It seems that with my Nuvi 360 the latest Bluetooth software (version 3.1) is still causing the freezing issue. I called up garmin and a representative gave me the same instructions, with old bluetooth GCD versions attached. For me only version 2.4 worked. So if you are having trouble, ring up Garmin and ask for version 2.4.

I have not had any issues with the USB cable. I've connected the device to many PCs. I have not used it on MAC. It fits into the standard USB port.

Is that "any" type of USB, or does it have a garmin specific port? Regardless, THANK YOU for the info. I know it was probably a moronic question. :) cheers!

Garmin says it is, but I have no idea - I never used mine. I'd check it out before you buy. They didn't mention in their documentation (that I could find) that it's not compatible with mac os 10.6.8. Once I found that out I didn't go any further. Put it back in the box and sent it back.

I have no problems connecting this to my MAC. It syncs perfectly fine. Users should be aware that they need to manually install the drivers for this device before use.

I bought my cable and went to this website to add my GPSMap 295 into the database - the device was during the process, then I purchased the updates to the airmaps and uploaded them to the GPS , https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/portables/ Hope this works out for you - Mine worked well, but like you, it did take a bit of time to work through the process...

I had the same question and did some digging on the oregon scientific website and it says it's not compatible with Mac :(

Does it connect via Bluetooth? How about direct connection with a cable? I'm not a Mac user. Good luck.

I don't know. You should call or E-mail Garmin and ask. Also, while the cable connected to my GPS, it didn't work. I returned it to the vendor who promptly refunded my money with no hassle.

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

Garmin should indeed replace the cable. I've read several complaints similar to yours. If, for whatever reason, the new cable doesn't solve the problem, then most probably the fault lies within the unit.

My wife's mac isn't cooperating with her new Clip. Any special steps you took to get it to work? I'm a PC guy, so I'm no help figuring this stuff out. Her IT guy at work - Mac environment - suggested an iPod... of course.

I have had the TRX for over a year and I have never been able to successfully connect it with my macbook pro over bluetooth. With a cord, yes. With bluetooth - a sad no.

It is only the software that neds updating. I know the software for macs are supposed to come out in the fall, but the 405 has been beset by delays. So you can buy one and EVENTUALLY it will be supported by Mac, I just can't tell when by anything I have seen Garmin put out.

I am having no problem using a MacBook Pro running 10.4.10 with a Garmin Streetpilot i5. Garmin does offer Mac compatible software.Hoosierjay
