Even though the box goes away (meaning you can't individually request
waypoints or tracks; you have to pull them all from this device) waypoints
should still transfer.

Try it from the command line instead of the GUI.   Additionally, show us a
screen shot of your GUI when it runs GPSBabel.

If it works when your run it from the command line and without any -t or -w
options, then I think I know what the problem is and can fix it.   It's a
bug in that format that it doesn't specify  that it can do waypoints, so the
GUI disables that checkbox.  I think it then sees the -t and does only the
tracks.  You can confirm this you repeat the command that the GUI builds,
but leave out the -t flag.
