I couldn't get that to work at all. gpsbabel -w -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0: -o gpx -F "newtrack.gpx" [ERROR] XSERIAL: Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0:': No such file or directory [ERROR] Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0:' GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0: Nor did gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F track1.gpx suggested by Christoph, which said it found no usb devices. However, going back to my original command I got what looked a much bigger file than the original one. On examining it, however, it only showed two minutes on the day we walked. The rest is stationary, last night, while I was finding the setup bits we talked about. I can't understand why the map screen shows a trace of the walk, if it's not recorded. The waypoints are all there. I did notice that there are three waypoints that appear to belong to Garmin. I'll have to make sure that they are removed. I'm preparing for my holidays, so have little time now. I may manage to clear everything and try walking one more time, today if the weather allows. If I still don't get a decent log we'll leave it for a couple of weeks until I get back. Anne
