[Gpsbabel-misc] Garmin Connection problems

[William H. <wi...@wi...>]

Hi,

I'm not sure this is directly on topic, but I've a few problems with 
downloading from my Garmin Etrex GPS

I've had it for a while, and used to use gpspoint, however, when I upgraded my 
system this stopped working.  As I can't find any active support for 
gpspoint, I started looking for other utilities, which is where I found 
GPSbabel... 

Anyway, I can get nmea out of my gps, but when trying to download in 'garmin 
mode', it just hangs.  This is the same for all utilities that I've found 
that support it.

It is connected through /dev/ttyS0, which I have write permissions for (I've 
been doing it as root to test also), and my system is a recently 
emerged 'Gentoo' one.

Anyone have any top tips?

Cheers,

Will
