The update has been available for a couple of weeks now and is for the following Windows versions and browsers:
Supports Windows XP and later.
Supports Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 5+, or Chrome 8+.
The change history is as follows:
Changes made from version 3.0.1 to 4.0.1:
Added 64 bit browser support.
Fixed workout and profile transfer issues with eNewLeaf.
Fixed workout transfer issue with FIT devices like Forerunner 610.
Fixed Windows XP only transfer issues with FIT devices.
I had the same problem as with most Garmin software. It couldn't install the new because it couldn't uninstall the old. Fixed it with Revo Uninstaller Pro. The next map update should be fun.
Doesn't work for me either. Never have a problem with this add-on before. It installed but doesn't work. Shows installed in add-on page and is enabled but does nothing at all.
I will have to contact Garmin for help.
I wish Garmin would send out email notices to people who are registered on "MyGarmin" to advise when there are new versions of their important software available.
But alas.... they can't manage to send out notices concerning latest map version releases.
There is no need for emails. It actually works this way: when you will try to use MyDashboard you will be informed that there is new version and you need to download it and install. Everything will work then automatically including restarting browser after installation. Why bother with additional emails and manual installation?

If you have problems as I did I would rather fix them now than during an update.

Problems with map updates? This plugin is being updated when you start MyDashboard window. Even before device is being detected by it. So it really doesn't make difference if you do it then or manually.
Personally I am checking from time to time for updates, especially if I have any problems with software.

Stange that the Communicator was loaded when I did a map update on my son's computer.
For what?
What is the plug-in for?
.
Garmin Communicator, to update your maps, and FW with.

Same old garmin problem
