Hi Virtual1,

Does your garmin GPS device have a USB socket or a Serial one?

Mine has the Serial, I think I have been fobbed off with ancient stock.

I already know about the Garmin software and my original posting lists the ones which I already have on ( and working ) on my MacBook,
I have also downloaded the Garmin Communicator plug in and it finished by showing " Correctly Installed" .


The problem remains, that I can read and write from and to my Garmin GPS with both Windows and Linux, using both GUI and CLI programs.
BUT with my MacBook I get either nothing or a message that "No Garmin Device Found"
