Hi Robert<br>
Many thanks&nbsp; for that. Right, I've tried...<br>
gpsbabel -w -t -r -i kml -f gpsfile.kml -x track,title="blah" -o garmin
-F "usb:"<br>
... (hope that was as it was supposed to be) and there's now no
transfer of either waypoints or tracks. I've tried it using a source
kml with several waypoints and tracks, and one with only a single
track, in case this would make a difference, but it didn't...<br>
Hope this helps<br>
Roger<br>

That blog pretty much points back to our own doc.<br>
      <br>
&gt; ...sending only waypoints and the first track, which arrives on the<br>

&gt; visible on the map, and<br>
      <br>
I've just transferred tracks to and from a USB Garmin (admittedly, not<br>
that exact model) and the names appear to make it intact and the tracks<br>
do display.<br>
      <br>
      <br>
Can you tell if it's the absence of names that's causing this? Force<br>
a name by inserting a -x track,title="blah" before the "-o garmin" and<br>
let us know if life is better. We have code in the Garmin track writer<br>
that tries to force a name but if that's failing (esp. if that's what's<br>
driving your model batty) we'll need a full test case.<br>
      <br>
Thanx,<br>

Hello folks<br>
<br>
Right, I'm having great fun trying to figure out how to use my Garmin
Venture Cx with Linux, and strike out another reason to dual-boot...<br>
<br>
I'm running Linux Mint 3 (Cassandra), an offshoot of Ubuntu, with
kernel 2.6.20-16-generic and gpsbabel 1.3.2-2. I've followed the
instructions on this blog <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://wouter.horre.be/node/56">http://wouter.horre.be/node/56</a>
to disable the
kernel GPS driver as follows -<br>
<br>
"I created a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-garmin with content:<br>
<code><br>
# stop garmin_gps serial from loading for USB garmin devices<br>
blacklist garmin_gps<br>
</code>
<p>And a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with content:<br>
<code><br>
SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", GROUP="plugdev",
MODE="660"<br>
</code></p>
Then I did <em>sudo rmmod garmin_gps</em> and reconnected my GPS 60."<br>
<br>
<br>
Now with the command...<br>
gpsbabel -w -t -r -i garmin -f "usb:" -o kml -F gpsfile.kml<br>
... I can download waypoint and track data to a file perfectly. However
uploading to the GPS is not going so well, with the command...<br>
gpsbabel -w -t -r -i kml -f gpsfile.kml -o garmin -F "usb:"<br>
...sending only waypoints and the first track, which arrives on the
device without a name and set by default as not appreaing on the map. I
can go into the track properties, change the name, set it as visible on
the map, and then I can upload a second track, which again arrives
nameless and invisible. It's all do-able but am I missing something
obvious which could make this all work smoothly?<br>
<br>
Any advice appreciated! Allbest<br>
Roger<br>
