[Gpsbabel-misc] Problems using GPSBabel with IOGear USB to Serial Adapter

[Darren K. <d_k...@ho...>]

I am having difficulties using GPSBabel 1.3.3 to download data from a Garmin
Gecko 301 onto my mac using a IOGear USB to Serial Adapter
(http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GUC232A).  IOGear uses a
Prolific Technology Inc. controller
(http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=23).  I am using the
lastest driver from Prolific. Same problems existed with older Prolific
driver shipped by IOGear. Thus far I have been using Topo! 4.2.8 to download
GPS data. However, it converts tracks to waypoints (and/or makes a freehand
route) and I would like to download tracks as tracks. I noticed the problem
first when trying to use GPSPhotoLinker
(http://oregonstate.edu/~earlyj/gpsphotolinker/tracks.php) and then in
GPSBabel+. GPSBabel+ does not produce an error but fails to create the file.
Looking at prior posts it appears that this is a know issue with GPSBabel+.
(I also use Grass and QGis.) Anyway, here are the debug messages from the
command line.

Anything that can be done to resolve this problem?
