gpsbabel request

[tom13]

yes Tim,I have gpsbabel package installed,only it doesn't seem to recognize my Garmin...I'm sure that I'm missing something in settings,because when I do this

Code: Select all

$ lsmod | grep garmin
garmin_gps             17253  0 
usbserial              31597  1 garmin_gps
usbcore               171098  8 uhci_hcd,rt2x00usb,usbserial,rt2800usb,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,garmin_gps

it seems that gps device has been properly connected?

This time I only wish to thank you Tim and Stevo for your time and your wish to help me.I still don't have gpsbabel working,I've tried all of terminal commands that I found on internet though.Pc does recognize my Garmin,but all I have from gpsbabel is

Code: Select all

gpsbabel -w -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o garmin_poi -F /home/tom/Desktop/garmin output
[ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout.  No data received.
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyS0

Error running gpsbabel: Process exited unsucessfully with code 1

At this point I will have to stop,and wait for some better time :-)

Shoot...does the standard Debian version manage to recognize your Garmin?

[tom13]

Thanks Stevo,I'm not quite sure if I understand what it means "standard Debian version",but commands that I run such as lsusb and dmesg,I can see my Garmin as recognized.I also fixed permissions in accordance to Gpsbabel's site info.But I've noticed that gpsbabel doesn't create any file,it seems that it tries to read device,but there's no file created afterwards.This is what I get every time:

Code: Select all

gpsbabel -w -i garmin -f usb: -o garmin_poi -F /home/tom/Desktop/garminout
Found no Garmin USB devices.

Error running gpsbabel: Process exited unsucessfully with code 1

I also blacklisted garmin_gps in the file etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf

Code: Select all

# prevent garmin_gps from being loaded
blacklist garmin_gps

Should I create blacklist.conf file instead?Is fbdev-blacklist.conf the right place to do it?

[tom13]

ok,the output file has been created,this is what I get:00.00000,00.00000,Position,Position

[tom13]

Now I get .gpi file and gpsbabel message

Code: Select all

gpsbabel -w -i garmin,snlen=1,snwhite=1,deficon=,get_posn=1,power_off=1,erase_t=1,resettime=1,category=1,bitscategory=1 -f /dev/ttyS0 -o garmin_gpi,unique=1 -F /home/tom/Desktop/garminout.gpi
[ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout.  No data received.

Translation successful

I do have one track saved for testing,but still something's not right.And what to do with this .gpi file,how to open it in case of successful transfer?

He posted this in the MX14 package request thread.

Stevo, you've been referring to MX15/16?

[tom13]

I'm still trying to get gpsbabel working with my garmin,but all I get as output are zeros for both,longitude and latitude.Any output I choose,same thing.Any idea?It could be that I'm on the wrong forum too?Please direct me,thanks.
