Supported OSs are MacOS, Windows, and (soon) Linux. Supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It was created around the time that web browsers stopped supporting NPAPI Plugins such as Garmin Communicator (2016-2017), with a transfer of ownership in 2020/2021 and new browser extensions (with new extension IDs) starting in November 2021.Ĭurrently, only Garmin handheld devices are supported, but that could change in the future. GPSIO is a replacement for the Garmin Communicator plugin, built on open web standards. In addition, Mac and Windows installers may both ask for your password so the installer can be run with the necessary permissions, since it edits registry settings, Applications folders, etc. On Windows, you will need to follow the prompts to 'Run Anyway'. On Mac, you will need to locate the downloaded file in Finder, then hold down Control (not Command) when you click gpsio.pkg, select 'Open' from the file's menu, and answer 'Open' when prompted with the security warning - this will add it as a security exception (see Apple's docs here), and you can delete it after installation is complete. INSTALLER SECURITY NOTES: Like many installers, this installer will probably be blocked or flagged as "from an unidentified developer". While GPSIO is originally intended for use with, , and CalTopo Desktop (the locally hosted version of CalTopo and SARTopo), it could be applied to other web pages. GPSIO is a web browser extension (and supporting 'native host') that aids the transfer of GPS data between web pages and GPS devices.
