Fat32 memory card not reconized by osx tahoe

Question

Hello Garmin, 
 I can't use my gamin edge touring anymore on osx tahoe. I've tried to look in forum or support but I can't find any answer... 
 There is a probleme with the fat32 format, the memory card is not reconize by osx on my edge . The same memory is working fine with an other reader. 
 
 I've try to format in exFAT , and it is reconize on my edge by osx but when i try to install map the garmin express app crash . 
 
 Can you help me ? 
 Maybe I have to use a PC windows software to install map in the meantime you find a solution... 
 Thank you, Emmanuel

Do not format the SD card in exFAT, your Edge Touring doesn't support it. 
 Put it in a card reader, format it using FAT32, create a folder namer Garmin and copy the file GarminDevice.xml from the Edge to this folder. 
 Now disconnect your Edge, leave the SD card in the card reader and start Garmin Express. It will think that the SD card is the Edge, so you can install the maps on it.

Yes, thank you Javawa !! I have try with crossover from codeweaver (lite than vmware) but It does'nt work with garmin express https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/garmin-express . Will try with UTM https://apps.apple.com/us/app/utm-virtual-machines/id1538878817?mt=12 and tell you if it's working... 
 Edit: it's working with UTM and crystallfetch windows 11, you have to follow this tutorial ( https://docs.getutm.app/guides/windows/ ) and get this free license key for windows here ( https://techjustify.com/free-windows-11-product-keys/ ). It seems to be a garmin and osx incompability 
 
 Have a since day Emmanuel
