Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Uploading tracks to Garmin Vista

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Hi, and welcome.

That's, indeed, working as designed, though if I were doing it from scratch
today (with the benefit of questions like this asked over the last 15
years), I'd do it differently.

Sorry that you had a rough landing, but happy GPSBabel-ing.

It does catch my eye that you're relying on the Linux kernel garmin
emulation and that's been a pain point for some in the past. Maybe it's
fixed and maybe it's super now, but unloading the kernel module (indeed,
blacklisting it) and "-o garmin -F usb:"  may produce better results.
Garmin kernel stuff was broken for a Very Long Time with many people
experiencing problems and maybe it's better now.
