Garmin to New M1 apple processor

waiting for WHAT?

Apple-Silicon M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max:

Apple says every well-behaved ordinary Application (that does not use Virtualization) will run on Apple-Silicon. It will use Rosetta emulation to translate the Intel binary to M1-binary.

Your Intel Apps will run and not crash while being executed on a completely different processor than the one the developer used. This is a truly remarkable feature.

It runs, and you can get your work done, which is what Apple promised and delivered.

this is my graphic from Wikipedia to keep track of USB versions and connectors. But all the more modern ones should be backward-compatible, unless the cables are not working right:

as an additional reasonableness check, when you plug in the cable. you should see an indication of what device is seen at:

 menu > about This Mac > (system report) > USB

Your initial post does not even contain a statement of what your perceived problem with this stuff IS. So a response explains what Rosetta is and how every other Intel software works is not intended to be patronizing -- it merely explains -- because perhaps you did not know that it is supposed to be working fine.

The words I posted were from a previous response I wrote for a completely different purpose, and saved in a note to explain how rosetta emulation works.

If you found my response "slightly patronizing" It think that is something you imagined, not something inherent in what I wrote.

What medium is being used to make the connection? Wi-Fi? bluetooth? something else? is there any possibility for a USB connection?

There have been cases where newer MacOS refused to acknowledge previous "pairings" and devices had to be "paired" again.

<< Garmin express and garmin basecamp will not run/link >>

what happens when you try to run it? any error messages?

do you think there is a possibility this is just a cables/adapters issue? and perhaps that is why Garmin is not responsive?

I find the Mini USB and Micro USB vexing. They are very similar in size, but not exactly the same shape.
