Possible fixes for common issues:
Web Updater doesn't detect my device
Older versions of some Garmin devices' software have an issue that prevents them from communicating with the Mac. If you are experiencing this problem, you may need to update your device's software to the latest version using WebUpdater on a PC. After this update, your device should be able to communicate with your Mac and be updated using WebUpdater on your Mac.
Update hangs during 'Erasing' phase
This issue may be solved by directly plugging your device into your Mac instead of a USB Hub.

Fixed an issue that caused software update to fail for certain nuvi and StreetPilot devices on PowerPC Macs.
