Changes from 1.3 to 1.4.1:
- Added support for the Edge 705.
- Added ability to set and get required plugin version, and get latest plugin version for version compatibility.
- Latest plugin version reported by the API is 2.3.1.0.
- Improved internationalization capabilities in DeviceDisplay.
As usual, you can access the latest release distribution and documentation from Garmin Communicator Plugin API.
Or you can access the 1.4.1 docs directly.

When are you going to make Communicator compatible with Vista??

The Communicator is compatible with Vista.
We’ll update the Communicator product page to make this more clear.

The communicator does not communicate. Customer service is closed on Saturdays. Can’t update after wasting 1/2 hour of my valuable time. Very dissapointed.

I have downloaded Garmin communicator onto my home computer. My OS is Vista. I download the plugin for my IE7 but the test page says I don’t have it.
My limited knowledge about how these plugins are supposed to work keeps me from troubleshooting in depth. Can you give me a direction to check since your test page gives no info on what to do next except to keep downloading the plugin over and over again forever.

Hi Mike..
After you’ve installed the Communicator Plugin, if the test page tells you the plugin is not detected, you may need to enable the ActiveX control using the blue bar at the top of your browser window. (see example below)

Je ne parviends pas à télécharger les mises à jour de mon GPS Garmin Nuvi 250 qui a 1 an…
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer la marche à suivre.

I am software engineer and have thoroughly checked your prerequisites for installation, and they are met. On XP/IE7 the plugin software is installed in so far as it is included in the software installation list, but it does not register as an add-on in the browsers add-on listings and is not detected by the ActiveX test page. I believe something is fundamentally broken. I am reporting against: InstallGarminCommunicatorPlugin_262.exe Signed on Wednesday, 1 October 2008 07:24:25
Maybe your certificate is out of date?

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then click OK.
3. When this process is complete, click Start, and then click Run.
4. In the Open box, type msiexec /regserver,
you should be able to install now

I am trying to register my Garmin 260W but before I can register it, its asking me to install the “plug-in”. I am unable to do it after trying several times. I rebooted the pc but that didn’t help. I have noting else running. Can you help me?

I’m getting the same issue with the plugin, with both IE and Firefox. Is it some sort of weird thing with Norton or something?
