Zumo XT will not connect with Garmin Basecamp on an Apple Imac computer...with Catalina OS...
Has anyone had this problem ?? Its there a fix ????
I use basecamp with my 590 an a iMac but do not have an XT! Would love one though but will wait for all the bugs to be worked out
Same problem here. Called them once and it still does not work. They just sent me some links they said were helpful. On my windows laptop it is just the opposite. I can connect to Basecamp but Garmin express will not recognize it. I did delete basecamp once and reinstalled it and It connected once after a long wait but It crashed and I never got it back.
Ill try that. I normally make all my routes on my windows laptop. I got the IMac to to make it easier but with Catalina, It has been a pain to do anything.
My son, a BMW Adventure rider, struggled with BaseCamp on an Apple desktop for a couple of years until he got so p o'ed he finally bought a small Windows laptop to use the program.
I called Garmin Support, was on the phone 40 minutes with a Tech, he could not resolve the problem. Said he would set up a “Case” and an advanced Tech would contact me. Next day I got an email from another Tech stating the XT will not work on an Apple computer with Catalina OS !! Nothing ever stated in their ads or website about that. I am stuck with an XT I can’t use.. If I cannot find a cure for the problem,I will post the XT to sell !!! I have been a Garmin user for many years, never had an issue before.
I'm having the same problem. On my IMAC ( Catalina) I can connect Garmin Express to my XT and do the map updates, but it will not connect to Basecamp. On my 2012 MacBook Air ( Catalina) it will connect with both Express and Basecamp.
When I do connect with Express on my IMAC, even though it works, Finder still shows no connection to the IMAC. I've about given up though on figuring out Basecamp. I can build a route quicker directly on the XT. The XT is great, much better, faster and brighter than my 660 was.
Might it be suggested to stop using Basecamp and try a different routing program that works with Garmin, including the XT?
That was my point( indirectly I guess). I giving up on Basecamp and doing it on the XT.
I use Mac OS Catalina (on a MacBook Air)and Basecamp with my Zumo 595LM regularly, never a problem connecting or transferring routes.
