Garmin Communicator Plugin

Garmin Communicator Plugin enables your computer to communicate and exchange data with connected Garmin GPS devices. It works as a browser plugin compatible with Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox, which makes it easier for you to transfer data to your GPS.

Thanks to the integrated USB drivers, the plugin can (in most cases) automatically detect the connected devices. It is compatible with most Garmin devices, whether they are connected to the PC via a USB cable, an USB adapter or a serial cable.

Fitness devices might require the ANT Agent software in order to be detected by the plugin. You can then read fitness data using standard XML files. In order to communicate with the GPS device, it makes use of Windows Media Player, so make sure you have the latest version installed before proceeding.

With the Garmin Communicator Plugin installed on your computer, you can easily view and update maps and waypoints on the Garmin device, as well as update existing tracks and routes. Moreover, the plugin enables you to add new maps to the GPS and save specific addresses as new points of interest. You can also use it to register your device, add new vehicle types or new guidance voices.

Garmin Communicator Plugin gathers data concerning the product manufacturer and the software version, enabling you to easily access stored maps and view set routes.

The plugin works with the official Garmin website, but web developers can use the integrated API to include it within their projects as well, thus allowing GPS data transfers between their website and a connected device.

Garmin Communicator Plugin can help you retrieve and upload data from and to your Garmin GPS, all using a simple browser plugin.
