Linux/Cross Platform support

Garmin,

Please develop your tools so they are operating system agnostic. A browser plugin should not care what OS is behind it. The only thing keeping me from loving my garmin nuvi 755 is that I can't register it because the software requires windows or mac.

PLEASE find a way to support the linux community. Even if its making the code and info available to us to build our own tools.

    310xt linux

    Hello

    I have purchased a 310xt watch which have even registered...

    My problem is that if i want to take advantage of Garmins connect social training web application i have to dual boot into VISTA windows.

    Isn't Garmin thinking of releasing a linux binary to make the watch communicate with the ant stick under linux so i could upload my activity to the web application under linux ...

    Also it would be nice if the i could connect the watch with a cable and upload my activity to my laptop via the cable to avoid over complicating things with the ANT stick can this be done by the battery cable recharger that was purchased with the watch ?

    thankyou ... C.M

    +1 from me too.

    Connectivity is well established in other packages using such tools as gpsbabel. It's like Garmin is living the the dark ages with Connect.

    Yes, please.

    I too would like to have support for the ANT+ stick and automatic upload to Garmin Connect on Linux.

    Please add linux support to your offerings.

    I had to install a virtual machine on my linux laptop so I could run windows and linux simultaneously but I would much prefer a native app.

    Linux compatibility would be an excellent addition!

    I was running a Windows via VirtualBox to get the plugin to work, but found it easier to run the Windows version Firefox via Wine and it works perfectly. Sure its not a native Linux solution, but it works for all models I have tried.

    Here is my write up.
