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. Michael buble albums. 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.
Sep 10, 2007 If you go to the Garmin website you can download Mac software for the 305. I have done that and it works just fine.

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:Â 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.
Fitness watches are like mini-computers and have periodic software upgrades to fix various bugs and improve the functionality of the device. TheGarmin Forerunner 305 is no different.
How do you know if you need to update?
I recently became aware of an update available (current firmware version: 2.90 (as of this writing)) when I logged into Garmin Connect with the 305 connected to the computer. I was still running the 2.80 version. A message was displayed and I basically followed the instructions that had me use Garmin’s WebUpdater application located on my computer.

The simplest way to check and update your Garmin 305
Instead of having another piece of software that you may or may not use notify you of a software update, simply open WebUpdater and let it tell if there is anything available. Everyone with a Garmin Forerunner 305 should have WebUpdater installed on their computer or you can download the small application from Garmin.
Here are a few simple steps to guide you through it.
1. Connect your 305 to your computer. 2. Open WebUpdater. WebUpdater should be accessible on your computer under the Garmin program directory (Start -> All Programs -> Garmin -> WebUpdater).
3. Walk through the various WebUpdater windows.
4. The firmware upgrade is complete!
This simple process is something you could do every three months or so to make sure you are up-to-date. Or subscribe to EnduranceBuzz and I will let you know whenever I become aware of an update.
