Apple Silicon Support

Garmin, please update Garmin Express and release a NATIVE arm64 release for macOS.

Apple hasn't sold an Intel Mac in *years* and it's beyond embarrassing that zero effort has been put into support Apple users.

Reminder, Apple users have more disposable income than any other type of computer buyer. Do the right thing and put some engineering effort into this growing platform!

That answer is just ***. The Apple Silicon architecture has been around since 2020. I use a lot of software on my computer, but the only vendor whose software hasn’t been ported yet is Garmin. And we’re talking about the brand that makes the most expensive sports watches and bike computers!
We shouldn’t buy Garmin devices anymore; it’s time to switch to Polar, Suunto, and Wahoo devices...

My Mac (2024 Tahoe 26.4.1) still works with the applications but is starting to warn me now. And Garmin remains completely silent, even though it has been known since 2020 that something needs to be done, Garmin! Remarkable. We cycle (who cares). If we were flying, it would be fixed in no time....
