We use the Garmin Communicator Plugin to download the data from your Garmin Device.

The Garmin Communicator Plugin works best with devices that connect to a computer via USB cable. While some devices that connect to a computer via serial cable or serial-USB adapter will work with the Communicator, they are not officially supported and we cannot guarantee compatibility or provide customer support.
