I use Garmin express on a MacBook Air and recently the Mac has been giving me a message saying that Express will not work on a future upgrade of the Mac OS.
I have looked on Garmin and there is no update or reference to this.
Has anybody seen this message or have any info on this message?
TIA

Just found this on a google search (typical after my original post)
Garmin Express does not yet offer a native version compiled for Apple Silicon Macs. It relies on Apple’s Rosetta 2 translation layer to run on modern Apple Silicon hardware. If the "next" version of macOS completely drops support for Rosetta 2, Garmin Express will stop working.
I have a M2 Mac which I believe is a Apple Silicon Mac so am wondering if Garmin is going to bring out an update !!

Yes it is Apple Silicon.
No, Garmin is not going to update most probably. At least not in time (they are already ~5 years late).


To be fair, Garmin Express has been close to unusable on my Macs for quite a while as it doesn't "recognise" most of my Garmin devices.
If it's "vital" for you to have Garmin Express, you can postpone the S/O (MacOS) update.
