Anyone else use a Garmin Aera and try to update the software with a Mac?
I tried updating my Aera 510 recently and while it updated the terrain data, it erased all Nav data in the process. I then saw a note on the Garmin site that said you needed to have software version 4.0 installed or newer in order to install updated Nav data.
I downloaded the Garmin updater (for Mac) and it downloads but keeps giving me a message saying update failed. I ended up dragging out my ancient Windows based laptop (been collecting dust for 3 years) and was finally able to successfully update the Garmin using that.
Does Garmin just not play nice with Apple?
