![]() I have used this fix to solve many fellow cachers issue with this. I hope this helps you solve your Garmin Communicator Plug-in problem. Garmin Aviation Database Manager will appear automatically and. Turn the unit off and reinstall the sd card and all should be good again. Get map updates, software updates, product info or download the Garmin Communicator plugin. If this happens when you use a micro-sd card all you do is removed the sd card restart the unit and wait a minute. I have been out in the middle of no where with fellow cachers when this has happened. Oregon 300/400/500 and 550 units have this problem as well as GMap 62’s that I know of. I have always recommended that one loads their caches on a micro-sd card because several Garmin units have an issue of corrupting the GPX file stored on the unit itself. This should now work for you and you should see this. Once this is done and you ask Geocaching to send to GPS the first time you should get this box: ![]() ![]() You may then get a message on the left side that says only this time or remember, click remember. There is a message bar/line above the error message above saying Allow to run “Garmin Communicator” that runs width of the page with this written on the left then on the right you will see this below. You will get a message saying NOT supported, don’t panic. Once this is done you will be asked to restart Firefox.Ĭonnect your GPS and go to and the Cache you want to load. Then go to where you saved Communicator Plugin 420.exe and install it. I ask you to do this step because Communicator Plugin 421 was issued and was not digitally signed and since been removed and you can not install a lower version of any plug-in that is already installed. You should restart the browser if not asked. You should then go to the top of Firefox and open Tools then Add-ons then Extensions then find Communicator Plugin (which will likely show disabled) then click remove. So we need to download the Communicator Plugin 420.exe from the link above. What I did learn is the last digitally signed Garmin Communicator Plug-in can be downloaded here. This problem also appears to surface when we get a JAVA update and we have to repeat this fix. This was done to protect us as the consumer from hacking etc. What I have learned in all this is it is NOT totally true that FireFox no longer supports the Communicator Plug-in, the issue is Firefox no longer supports non digitally signed plug-ins. (This version can be downloaded from: Garmin Support Download Section). This has been a problem for well over a year or so. Many of us that have a Garmin GPS for Geocaching have run into the dreaded FireFox no Longer supports Garmin Communicator Plug-in message below. This post has been superseded by this post due to Firefox has closed this fix with their latest update.
