Hello all. I have an older GPS II (Garmin) unit, and I cannot get GPSBABEL to talk to it. Here's what I tried: 1) The serial port (linux) is /dev/ttyS0 and works - I tried connecting TxD and RxD together and get echo with minicom. 2) Minicom indicate that the GPS II is sending - I can put it in NMEA mode and get the 2 second messages. (at 4800 baud) 3) In Garmin mode, if I go to the menu, I can try to start the track sending manually, and I can see interrogation packages at 9600 Bd being sent. (10 1B 02 08 02 D9 10 03) 4) I start gpsbabel with the command: gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o garmin_txt -F test.csv and only get: GPSBabel Version: 1.3.3 I'd appreciate suggestions as to how to proceed...
