Update Garmin nuvi GPS firmware on a Mac
Authored by: chihrose on Jul 25, '06 08:35:37PM

I tried this protocol on my iMAC with OSX10.3and was able to get the garmin files onto an SD disc but my garmin doesn't seem to know its there. You use the phrase for the nuvi "boot 'er up" which I assume means start it. But how do you get the nuvi to update using the SD disc files?
Is there a file to run in the nuvi? Thanks for any help. I love my nuvi, but the inability to upgrade is frustrating, and Garmin seems to be having trouble getting their MAC programming up and running.
Thanks.

Update Garmin nuvi GPS firmware on a Mac
Authored by: jodyj on Mar 29, '07 11:22:11AM

Had the same trouble with the process for updating my Nuvi 350. Downloaded the v4.4 update and expanded it so ended up with a <nuvi350_430.exe Folder> on my Mac.

Connected the Nuvi 350 via USB, dragged the <nuvi350_430.exe Folder> to the Nuvi 350 and it copied it. Ejected the Nuvi and restarted it. Did not see any update performed. Checked the software version (v3.8) and it has not been updated.

Once the folder is on the Nuvi 350 -- what's next?
