NOTE: When connected to a Mac, these devices will only be recognized or detected by one application at a time.

For example, if Garmin Express is open and has detected the device, opening Garmin BaseCamp™ at the same time will result in BaseCamp™ being unable to find the device until both applications are completely closed and the desired application is re-opened. 

To Force Quit Garmin Express or Garmin BaseCamp™ Software on Mac:

1. Press Command + Option + Escape on the keyboard
2. Select Garmin Express or Garmin BaseCamp from the list of applications
3. Click Force Quit

The Garmin Express or Garmin BaseCamp program will now be closed.

Applications that will detect and "use" these devices include, but are not limited to; Garmin Express, Garmin BaseCamp, and the Android File Transfer program mentioned below.
