The hard cutoff is OS28 which will be released, based on history, in September of 2027. OS27, known as Golden Gate is currently in beta. The installer from Garmin is not currently working in that beta. Apple is still supporting Intel with this release. I ASSUME that by the time Apple releases Golden Gate to the public Garmin will fix the installer and Express will still install and run.

Apple went to Apple Silicon SIX years ago! Garmin a HUGE corporation had SIX years to update ALL their software to run native on Apple Silicon. Instead they have done NOTHING and now weeks away from a hard cut off they still have NO migration plan in place. It a bit ridiculous. Especially, for a company that charges $1k for Tactix, $700 for handheld navigation devices etc… this has NOTHING to do with Apple. The developer tools, the six year lead time was there and Garmin did NOTHING!</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Apple Silicon Support</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mac-windows-software/f/garmin-express/429822/apple-silicon-support/2060230</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:15072a8f-b547-48f6-994e-85dad313b12d</guid><dc:creator>schmenge</dc:creator><description>I must be missing the point. To be clear, I am NOT a Garmin fan boy. The only reason I am currently using Garmin is a freebee fell into my lap. I am pretty tired of the bugs. When I t comes to garmin express up until the beta of Mac OS Golden Gate I have had no issues running Express and no issues getting updates. To ME it is totally reasonable to have software issues during beta. Heck, that is why Apple has a public beta to help flesh stuff like this out.</description></item></channel></rss>
