Minor bleat from the ignorant. -f and -F are a bit subtle for the more ignorant amonst us? -input -output could be understood by the Flintstones. <aside>Goes off to drag wife to fireside by hair</aside> regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk |

Two out of three times, I'd get a timeout error. On the third time, only about 5 waypoints would be imported even thought when using the -D flag, it appears that all waypoints are read and accepted! I was never able to successfully download tracks either. I then discovered the above web page and followed those directions so that I could use usb:. With this update, I was able to import waypoints with reckless abandon. Tracks too! Like Joey, I'm on Debian (etch), and just got the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. I'll be upgrading to gpsbabel 1.3.3 from 1.3.2 as soon as I stop playing with my new toy and upgrade my Debian system to the new testing. In the meantime, the current version is uploading and downloading waypoints, routes, and tracks just fine. Thanks! Here is replacement text for the above page which fixes a typo, notes that the Ubuntu section covers Debian as well, and fixes how the content of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is rendered. Sticking the blacklist command in a comment won't do much good! <h2>Debian & Ubuntu Dapper Drake</h2> To keep the OS from loading the (frequently dysfunctional) kernel garmin_gps module, edit <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist</code> and add the lines <p /><code># stop garmin_gps serial from loading for USB garmin devices <br />blacklist garmin_gps<br /></code> To allow the USB devices to be read and written by a non-privileged user, create a file named <code>/etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules</code> with the following contents <p /><code>SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666"</code><br /> -- Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD |

Tracks too! Yeah, I've considered adding a test for this ("I know this model has USB, but you're on Linux and you're using the serial driver...") but it actually does work for some people and that seems a little rude. :-) > Here is replacement text for the above page which fixes a typo, notes > that the Ubuntu section covers Debian as well, and fixes how the content > of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is rendered. Sticking the blacklist command Applied. It'll be in my next update. Thanx. RJL |
