Mac Uploads

From MB Wiki

The MotionBased Web Agent 1.25 is no longer available. You will need to upgrade your Safari browser to 3+, or begin using the Firefox browser along with the Garmin Communicator Plugin.


Warning: The Map Player and the Analyzer will not work in Mac OS X and the Garmin Communicator Plugin does not support Course Downloads. Partial support for the Mac is available at this time. We recommend waiting to be a paid customer until you are satisfied with the features offered to Mac users.
