[Gpsbabel-misc] garmin foretrex 201 + linux/win

[<bar...@gm...>]

Hi!

I have a Garmin Foretrex 201 (firmware 2.70). I have tried it several ways:

1. On linux, ubuntu 7.04 (feisty), kernel 2.6.20, gpsbabel 1.3.2, ftdi-based
serial-usb adapter (I have no real serial port on linux):

$ sudo gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F out.gpx
Password:
GPSBabel Version: 1.3.2
Tx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03 : ...(PRDREQ  )
Rx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03   (PRDREQ  )
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

2. On windows xp, gpsbabel 1.3.4, real serial port (com2):

gpsbabel.exe -D9 -i garmin -f com2: -o gpx -F out.gpx
GPSBabel Version: 1.3.4
Opening com2:
Tx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03 : ...(PRDREQ  )
Rx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03   (PRDREQ  )
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

3. On windows xp, gpsbabel 1.3.4, ftdi-based serail-usb adapter (com3):

gpsbabel.exe -D9 -i garmin -f com3: -o gpx -F out.gpx
GPSBabel Version: 1.3.4
Opening com3:
Tx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03 : ...(PRDREQ  )
Rx Data:10 fe 00 02 10 03   (PRDREQ  )
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

The only encouraging sign I get are the blinking communication leds for both
directions on the serial-usb adapter, and that the gps unit turns on when I
plug in the adapter to the computer.

Please help me getting downloading work. I tried to give as much
information, as I can, but feel free to ask me any other.

Thanks:Andras
