Garmin WebUpdater App Reviews

Version 2.1.3 would not work for me in OS X 10.8.3 It started to download 180 files. After each file, it reported a failure, and offered to retry. Pressing the retry button caused it to continue (and fail) on the next file. The problem may be that it simply wont run from a restricted (not administrative) user account. There is already a good review on this app, and iit will cost you nothing to try it out.

Doesn’t work at all with my iMac and Garmin Nuvi 40. Doesn’t sync to the GPS and no matter what I try, it just doesn’t recognize it. The updater used to work and I thought that this would be better since it is an App on the App Store but since installing it, now the updater doesn’t recognize my GPS. I will try to uninstall this app and hope that things work out with the old updater. DO NOT GET THIS APP

Doesn’t work on Mavericks. Waste of time. Glad Garmin aviation products can be relied on.

I have tried to update my Garmin GPS 72. This software have erased original rom but failed to upload new. Windows version of this software uploaded new version from first try. So software does not work for me.

Updater cannot find any of my multiple aviation gps units. No problems in the past. Needs to be fixed. Seems there are serial complaints on this issue. Running OS X El Capitan

Downloaded it on my iMac and pluged in my new Edge 520 and it worked immediately, did the update, and done.

Does this update maps and traffic software or not? Do I have to install Garmin Express to get those? Why isn’t Garmin Express available in the App store?

I have a Garmin Nüvi 1350 plugged into my iMac. Finder sees the device fine, shows "GARMIN" in the sidebar. I launch WebUpdater and all I see is "No devices were found." after clicking Find Devices, with the option to Try Again. Completely useless. OS X 10.7.3.

Downloaded the app. Plugged in my Nuvi 1300 and it updated the software immediately. No problems and a great app

Updated the software on my 60CSx and now it doesnt work.

I guess it updated just fine. but i dont see any difference...

Works fine with my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) and my Garmin nüvi 3490LMT, but it could be better. • It doesnt update the map data. You have to use other means for that (such as the Garmin Lifetime Updater program). • There is no ability to ignore irrelevant updates (such as text-to-speech voices in foreign languages). • It doesnt handle optional updates (such as the extra vehicle icons available on the Garmin web site).

This is a great app! I have been using it for years from Garmins website. It lets you update your Garmin GPS software and choose individual updates, including different voices for your device. For newer devices; such as, nüvi 3590LMT, it has been way easier to use this app to update GPS software than Garmins myDashboard page. I give it 5 stars for its ease-of-use and it does exactly what it says.

I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 and I have the same problem as many. The device can not be found. Frustrating please fix.

I was excited to find this app after switching from Windows to Mac. However, while I was trying to update my GPS Device with this app I got an error (sorry, cant remember the exact wording of it). It said to re-try, so I did, and it couldnt find my device. I couldnt even power up my eTrex Venture HC, which was working just fine just moments before. The screen on the GPS would flash once when I tried to power it up, but then - nothing. I contacted Garmin by email and they gave me instructions on how to reset it, they called it a Boot-Block function: Press and hold up on the THUMB STICK, Press and hold POWER for 5 seconds, release, and continue holding up on the THUMB STICK. This did nothing. They then said I would have to send it in for repair and it would cost $79 because I am past the 1 year warranty period. Kind of pathetic to pay half of what its worth for repairs. And very pathetic that their software killed their device and they wont stand behind it. Beware when using this app!

It crashes and it says quitted unexpectedly

Just downloaded App and update firmware on both Oregon 400t and NUVI 3790 using a iMAC 27 with OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I will say GPS units need to be turned on, using correct UBS for each unit as provided at purchase from Garmin, after Garmin icon comes up open Garmin Updater located in Launchpad. HOWEVER, I was unable to download my life time maps and had to do to my IBM machine for that, 6 downloads, 4 upgrades and 10 hrs later, my maps are current. Hope this helps. Lee J.

Does not even detect my Nuvi 1490lmt Tried entering the serial # manually and it says its a NavTalk pilot !?! Tried every option and nothing!! Come on Garmin, get your act together with your macOS platform!!

Installed WebUpdater on my iMac with OS 10.8.2. Plugged in my eTrex Legend CX and run the app. Updated unit from 3.1 to 3.40 version in just a few minutes. In my case its a 5 star since it worked fine. I have a Nuvi 1450T Ill try later and report if there are any issues on that unit.

Nuvi 550 is plugged in and available on my MacBook. WebUpdater cant find it.
