[Gpsbabel-misc] Thanks

[Frederik J. C. <ju...@hc...>]

Hi,

I would just like to thank you for this superb program.
I borrowed a Garmin eTrex Vista for the weekend from a friend to
do some Geocaching. Since he left a serial cable with it, I
thought I might give that a try... That turned out to be almost too
easy, thanks to gpsbabel (and debian).

> apt-get install gpsbabel
> gpsbabel -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpx -F garmin.gpx

That's it! The waypoints from the device were all there...
Getting the downloaded waypoints the other way was just as easy.
BTW, the -s option is brilliant.

Thanks,
Frederik
