A. Yes. All MapSource products are compatible with Windows 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. When using the USB Datacard Programmer, you will need to have Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP. Windows 95 and NT are not compatible with Garmin USB devices. Apple Macintosh compatibility is not available at this time. When installing a Garmin Datacard Programmer on Windows XP using an older set of Garmin’s USB card programmer drivers, a warning will be displayed urging you to use caution in installing the Garmin USB Card Programmer. Loading the Garmin device on your computer will not cause any damage and the drivers have been thoroughly tested to ensure that the integrity of your system is maintained. Simply continue to install the USB Datacard Program using the provided installation instructions. Newer Garmin USB datacard programmer do contain updated drivers that will not prompt the compatibility warning.
