127.0.0.1 triplew.garmin.com
127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com ( this one is needed like this to not get the authentication error )
127.0.0.1 bronze.garmin.com
127.0.0.1 downloadg.garmin.com

I am using the 2013.40 files, and everything works perfect. just the google search, the weather on destination, cams, and traffic are not showing. Any help would be apprecciated and good work.

thanks

Put # in front of the triplew, bronze, downloadg (and silver, if it's there in your hosts file); also make sure you either don't have a carriage return after the very last non-# entry in your /etc/hosts file...or alternately, make sure the very last line in the file starts with a #.

Example /etc/hosts file (partial-includes just the Garmin stuff):

127.0.0.1

Code:

127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com (if this is the very last line in your /etc/hosts file, make sure you do not hit the Enter key or otherwise insert a Carriage return at the end of this line)

or

127.0.0.1

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 downloadg.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 triplew.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 bronze.garmin.com
#127.0.0.1 silver.garmin.com
# (this is the very last line in the /etc/hosts file--do not hit the Enter key after typing this line)


Also make sure you have the right settings in the required plist files (see elsewhere in this thread for which plist files need to be modified).
