Great news! You can now download courses from the web to your Garmin fitness devices!
This functionality requires the use of our new release of Communicator API 1.2. Read more about the new send courses functionality. This version of Communicator works with Communicator Plug-in 2.1, however course download functionality requires Communicator Plug-in v2.2 Alpha. Feel free to play around with it and let us know what you think! Please note that the alpha version is not meant for production.
A friendly reminder for developers: Because modifications are made in each new release, we suggest linking to our specific versioned URLs rather than the unversioned one, as that ensures consistent functionality. For example, if you are using version 1.2, use http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api-1.2/… instead of http://developer.garmin.com/web/communicator-api/…
Stick around for updates, as grabbing courses from the devices is also coming up.
Also, good news for Mac users: We are working on a Mac compatible beta version of the plug-in, for Firefox and Safari. Yay! I’ve actually been testing an alpha release here in the office. It’s not quite ready to share with you all yet, but stay tuned and we’ll let you know once it is ready for prime-time.
It seems like everyone else in the office is chattering about web services so I know they are working hard on getting a test server for developers to preview the upcoming Web Services release later this year. These web services should be a great compliment to the Communicator API for those of you that want to store GPS data on the web without having to write your very own MotionBased.
On the administrative front I’ve been battling the spam-bots on the forum to keep the conversations clean. We are also considering launching a bug tracker that will allow you to report bugs and browse bugs that others have reported while showing the road map. Even better maybe you developers out there may fix a bug or two and help out with the open source effort.

The sooner you produce Garmin Communicator for Mac, the sooner I’ll switch from Magellan to Garmin.
