Garmin WebUpdater App Reviews

Downloaded the app, turned on, then plugged in Garmin to Mac, launched app and found it and update was good. I have a Nuvi 1350.

I downloaded this app store version thinking that it would find my 3790 Nuvi, but it wont. I rebooted, I tried their communicator plug in, but none of that worked. The old app seems to see my device and download the updates, but they wont install since it then says it cant find the device. My Mac and Safari are fully up to date and I tried it with Chrome. No useful error messages either. I will have to find a PC to update the maps. The device wont mount as a drive like their help pages say either. However, it charges fine from a variety of USB cables that I tried. Those cables work fine for other devices. My TomTom Software works much better for my other GPS unit. Hints For Garmin Put some error messages in there so at least people with a clue can do some more work finding out why it might not work. Update you help pages beyond old versions of the OS and browsers. The old updater apps used to work a few months ago. Blame Apple, but, your debugging team should have figured things out and issues an update. I cant be the only Mac user out here.

This is the worst APP. I have tried everything I know changing download security preferences etc. uninstalling reinstalling. Im done with Garmin This is not the first time I have had trouble with their updater, communicator. I have been fortunate to get it to work on past versions of OS X, but then garmin makes a newer version to fix a few bugs and all of a sudden I am D.O.A. I have a Nuvi 255W eBay here it comes!

So yeah, it worked. I kind of wish it backed it up too in case I ever have an issue with the device.

A very basic app. It updates the firmware just as it should. Nothing complicated or fancy about it. It does what it is supposed to.

I cant get this to update my maps. My garmin nuvi still stays it has not been updated in over a year, even though I have tried this program three times. I have the lifetime maps Nuvi. Please fix! Im getting lost!

I downloaded this and I try hitting the find device and it says " device not found".

I have a Lifetime Update and I can’t update my nevi 3790 through this program. It gives a message Updating and a white with blue bar shows then disappear and a message: Please disconnect the device from your computer and allow it to start, when I do that nothing happens!!! I think Garmin as a the largest player today can do better with their software.

Dowloaded the app…plugged in my gps…updated everything in a few seconds….done…simple. GARMIN 62S

I have tried Garmin Web Updater 2.1.3 and Garmin Express 3.0.7.0 multiple times to connect to my Garmin Zumo. I am on Mac OSX 10.9.2. My Mac does not recognize my Garmin and these apps do Not connect to my Garmin. As a previous reviewer noted, we can not be the only people having this issue!!

It does it’s job and will update the firmware and language files. For the fully-featured version with map updates and everything you can get the garmin express from their website.

Web App will not recognize my Garmin Nuvi. Tried to download, delete, download 2 times. Back to the iPhone navigation we go. Product is losing it’s edge so the last thing i want is cumbersome App. I have 5 minutes patience with this and back in the closet it goes.

On OSX Yosemite (10.10.1) I tried to update the firmware on my etrex venture HC from 2.80 to the latest version. The update failed with an error message and bricked the unit. The GPS unit is now unusable. The batteries were new, it did not run out of power while flashing. I will try to contact Garmin for remedy, but I’m not hopeful given that the GPS unit is out of warranty.

It doesn’t work! What am I doing wrong? It informs that Device not found

This newer program does not find my 296 anymore, the old onme used to work great. So I cant update my fimrware, also because of that I can not update my aviation database. Garmin needs to update this app for the mutultudes of other complaints on here for the same reason.

I just purchased a Garmin GPSMAP 64st and am trying to logon to the Garmin site. Endless downloads and links to sites that don’t work then forces me to logon again claiming I don’t have an account but then informs me that my account is already registered. My device has been supposedly updated three times to the latest version of software. This app is the latest process and I have no idea if this is correct or not. So much for creating a terrible user experience.

Will not work with the nuVi 3760T to update the device. Please update this application!!!!

totally worthless—could not recognize my NUVI1450—said to turn it on—but it was—total crap!

Every Garmin app and GPS I’ve used has terrible UI. Nothing looks remotely modern or like the engineers (I doubt they use designers) know what they’re doing. A disappointing experience. The actual GPS itself is nice and rugged, it’s just the interface and the app that are appalling.

I downloaded the app and it updated my 2597in less than a minute. The website took over an hour when I updated it last time. The only complaint is you can not download the extras like voice or car changes with this app.
