Can I use GSAK to preview caches and download their GPX file? Is there a walk-through somewhere to help me with this? There are so many 'download to GPS' buttons throughout that are no longer relevant. How do I preview each cache and download the GPX file without having to launch each cache page? I do have GSAK, but haven't used it much. but obviously this will no longer work in the future. What I prefer to do is look at a map view, right-click on a cache and 'send to GPS'. Downloading the GPX file from the cache page and moving it into my Garmin directory works, but requires me to open each cache page first. I am old and change is hard, but I'm willing 'change my workflow' if someone can show me the way. I'm sure you are right, I'm just saying that the useless feature will still be there. I'm sure most people will be able to download the GPX file and save it to the right directory on their GPS. Take a look at the statement on Garmin's website here and have a look at the Microsoft article they link to:Īnd the useless send to GPS feature will still be there forever. It was working fine just last Friday.Īnother solution to the problem is to forget about using Firefox and use IE instead.Įventually all modern browsers will stop supporting NPAPI plugins and Groundspeak will remove support for the Communicator plugin all together. Yesterday, for the first time, Firefox refused to allow the plug-in to work. Please explain 'it's time to adjust your workflow'. Instead of jumping through hoops to keep the plugin working it's time to adjust your workflow.

Next version will not allow you to change that setting anymore. Support is not available for any changes made with the Configuration Editor so please do this at your own risk.' 'Override add-on signing (advanced users): You can override this setting by changing the preference to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor ( about:config page). You only need to tweak one line in the Firefox config. But it worked for me up until a couple weeks ago.I found this info on Firefox today and now the Garmin Communicator is working again just fine. Everything else, I will continue to do with Google Chrome. But, Now, I will only use Firefox for the ride data. So, Now you will have to use Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari. The programmers at Google updated Chrome and it will no longer work with NPAPI(Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) which is crucial to the plugin. The Garmin Communicator Plugin will function correctly in these compatible browsers. For a list of compatible browsers, visit the Garmin Communicator Plugin download page for your operating system: In order for the Garmin Communicator Plugin to work properly, a compatible browser must be used. As of Chrome 42, NPAPI support has been disabled by default and these types of plugins will no longer be detected. The Communicator Plugin uses the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) architecture which is no longer supported by Chrome. The Garmin Communicator Plugin is no longer compatible with Google Chrome.

That seemingly will no longer sync the data to Garmin's website. If anyone uses a Garmin bike computer and Google Chrome as their web browser.
