based on another thread -

Just wondering how Windows 7 is playing
with the Garmin Webupdater, USB drivers,
and the online browser plugin for the Garmin website
with the Dashboard ?

1 - Webupdater ?
2 - Garmin website plugin ?
3 - Garmin website Dashboard ?
4 - Mapsource and other "stuff" ?

My experience with Garmin and Windows 7 (64 bit):

1 - Webupdater works fine;
2 - Plugin; I do not even know what that is;
3 - Dashboard: I do not use that;
4 - Mapsource works fine.

The Garmin browser "plugin" allows the Garmin website
to connect to your GPS via USB....
and display info on the website Dashboard screen,
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/dashboard.htm

Also - it can be used with Mapquest & Google Maps
after finding a location and then "Send to GPS" via the Garmin website
which again would use the plugin to connect to your GPS via USB.
