Ok the instructions that come with the Garmin forerunner are completely wrong, the CD is useless (it has the manual but no software) and the Garmin support website is not much help either. There are all sorts of discussions on the Garmin site for Mac users about ‘it does work with Lion’, ‘it doesn’t work with Lion’ and so on. At one point it even had me downloading a PC .exe file!

The answer is that it does work very well with OSX but there are two separate pieces of software that need to be installed.
1. The first piece of software is a Safari/Firefox/Chrome Plugin that lets your browser talk to your Garmin. You can download it from garmin.com under ‘Support’ menu then ‘Software’ then ‘Software for Mac OS’ then ‘Garmin Communicator Plugin‘.
When it’s downloaded you can test it on this test page: http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/test/
2. The second piece of software is a USB driver that talks to the Antenna. Again, you get it from ‘Support’ menu then ‘Software’ then ‘Software for Mac OS’ then ‘Garmin ANT Agent’. When it’s downloaded you can ‘pair’ with your Garmin device as per the instructions.
Finally if you want you can go to the mac app store and download the Garmin fitness software for free.
ANT USB Stick
Garmin Ant Agent Windows 10
We have received several inquiries concerning the hLine ANT USB Adapters. The adapter is comparable to the Garmin ANT+ USB Stick. It’s a USB 2.0 Stick which supports the ANT+ protocol. The stick can be used for PC and Mac. Further names used for this kind of stick are ANT2 or ANT USB2. Please do not confuse the stick with the (longer) ANT1 USB Stick. The ANT USB2 adapter is a nano stick.
This USB Adapter can be connected to an android mobile through the OTG Micro-B cable. This way you can use ANT also with your android mobile. You need to install two different APPs on your device before it is possible to use the adapter. Following APPs are required: ANT Radio Service and ANT USB Service. After the installation you can use the adapter with your phone.
If using a PC with Windows 7 or higher, no further driver installation is required. Windows automatically recognizes the adapter when inserting it. When using Windows 10 or XP a driver needs to be installed. You can find the driver here.
If you are using a MAC it will work automatically. MAC recognizes the ANT Stick and all the software on a MAC that supports ANT Stick will work together with the stick.
