Breetings,

	Don't know if this will help or not, but FWIW I'm using a Garmin eTrex
connected via serial cable to Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and the
following commands get me generic gpx and gpsdrivetrack gpx tracks
respectively:

$ sudo gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpx -F 12May07.gpx

$ sudo gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpsdrivetrack -F
12May2007.gpx
