[Gpsbabel-misc] Problems with GPS II

[John C. <jo...@jc...>]

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...
