+Fruitschil Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi there, I am an Mac OSX user, browsing with Google Chrome. If I want to send a cache to my GPS (Garmin eTrex 30) via the button 'Send to GPS', the geocaching.com site tells me: "Your browser is not supported to use the Garmin Communicator Plug-In.". The thing is; the Garmin Communicator Plug-in does support Chrome on OSX! If I visit the following link: http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/ , I get a message from Garmin telling me: "Communicator Plugin is properly installed and up to date. Version: 4.0.3.0". It also recognizes my eTrex 30. When I want to send a Cache to my GPS, I have to separately login with Apple's Safari in order to get the 'Send to GPS' function working. I suspect this is a problem on the side of Groundspeak/Geocaching.com. The Garmin Communicator Plugin tells me it is working fine with Chrome and it also recognizes my Etrex 30. So, I suspect this is a check in the website of Groundspeak, which is outdated. Could someone take a look at it? Would greatly appreciate it to use my premium functions with Chrome.

+Marzelpan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi! Groundspeak uses an old version of the Garmin Communicator API that does not support Chrome on OS X. You can fix this by installing a small Chrome extension: GCGarCom Marcel Quote Link to comment
benji55545 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This is super annoying. If I use Chrome's UA Spoofer and just tell gc.com I'm using a different browser it works fine. Quote Link to comment
