Unable To Send Google Map to Garmin GPS

**caveman409** · 4th June 2012, 03:27 PM

I used to be able to send Google Map to Garmin GPS. Now it doesn't work anymore.
Is it Google who disable this function? Anyone has encountered this before?
I have Garmin Communicator Plug-In installed.

I'm using the same : Win 7-64 bit, IE9, FF 12, Plugin 4.01
I've no idea, have you disabled something in your browsers ?

My Garmin Communicator is also 4.0.1. I have checked the plugin for IE9 and Firefox 12, it shows enable. The option of sending map to Garmin just disappear this year. Last year was okay.

I am able to do a update for my Garmin set using Garmin Dashboard with Garmin Communicator 4.0.1 plugin.

Currently, only Map Quest has this option available. But Map Quest is unable to display Singapore Map correctly.

I using nuvi 2555LMT. Is there anything wrong with my laptop?

Last year between Nov to Dec it works, but not this year.

Ιt just works for certain regions.
For example, it works for Japan or S.Korea but dosen't work for Sinagapore, Malyasia, Thailand and Indonesia.

Previously, when I try Google Map Singapore, it has the GPS option, but now it is gone.
