Mac OS® X Tiger (10.4+) can upload activities.......

Now -- loyal Mac users running Mac OS? X Tiger (10.4+) can upload activities from their Garmin? USB compatible device directly to MotionBased.

The MotionBased Web Agent is a browser plug-in that enables Macs to communicate with Garmin Forerunner? and Edge? devices. Meaning, Mac users can get data off their GPS device and on MotionBased. Unlike the MotionBased Agent (PC only, client application), the MotionBased Web Agent runs within Safari?. After installing the plug-in, users simply connect their USB device and upload by clicking a button in the browser. We evaluated all options and decided a Safari plug-in is the best user experience. Hope you agree?

Despite the new Agent, MotionBased still has some restrictions for the Mac loyal. Firstly, the Web Agent only works in Safari, and not Firefox or other browsers. Secondly, the Map Player? and Analyzer are PC only. We hope to have complete Safari support this summer. So what does work? Well, everything else: Digest, TrailNetwork?, Dashboard, Dot Racing? Google Maps? and Google Earth? integrations. As well as sharing via email, links, and ViewPorts.
