This is my first effort, using a borrowed eTrex.  I have my first track on the 
gps, and have bought a RS232 to USB interface as my laptop doesn't have a 
serial port.  My OS is Linux.

I have set the interface to NMEA OUT - I think someone told me this was best, 
but I can't find where I read it.  Now what?  How do I get the info from the 
Garmin onto my laptop?  Do I need a specific software package for the 
download?  If I install GPSbabel does that do the job?

Sorry for so many questions, but getting started is always the hard bit :-)
