Downloaded POILoaderforMac_241.dmg from Garmn website on Oct 11, 2019 but it will not install on my 2019 iMac running MacOS 10.15 Catalina.

Error message: “Install POILoader.pkg” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Contact the developer.

Go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General

There you will see an option to "Allow apps downloaded from:"

Check "App Store and Identified developers"

That should do it.

Hmmm....that box was already checked-- but there was a radio button below it to allow the POI Loader to be installed. I checked it-- and it worked.

Thanks for the tip!

That's how it's supposed to work.

Get the new BaseCamp too.

I thought Catalina will only run 64-bit apps now. Unless the program get re-written so it is a 64-bit app, it may never work.

BaseCamp has been 64 bit for a while. POI Loader got updated to 64 bit a couple weeks ago
