I ran your gpsbabel command and got this message to the console: [ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout. No data received. [ERROR] A301_Get: Non-Pid_Trk_Data The outfile.gpx was shorter than before: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gpx version="1.0" creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd"> <time>2008-12-19T15:17:36Z</time> </gpx> It is clear that gpsbabel is trying to talk to the device.

I am using the 305, but I suppose the two should be identical as far as downloading is concerned. When I ran your command I got: Found no Garmin USB devices. Whereas with the -f /dev/ttyUSB0 gpsbabel tried to access the device.

I was able to look at the stored data with my wife's Windows machine so there is valid data in there. Thanks again. I think we are very close.

For the sake of experimentation, drop a waypoint or two and then see if you can recover them with gpsbabel. >I still have the data from my last run in the Forerunner.

What version of the kernel are you running? The garmin serial driver used to be broken, I've just remembered. Also see this: http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html You could try: rmmod garmin_gps gpsbabel -t -r -w -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx Never used that method myself, though. I'd been compiling my own kernels with the driver patched. (Now I have 2.6.26.5 and the stock garmin_gps driver works.) -Beej |
