Two possibilities I can think of, either you need to change the serial port number or there is an issue with the functionality/driver of the USB to serial adapter. If it's a driver issue try this padge for the 2303 drivers http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 > >Nor did > >gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F track1.gpx > No, setting it to USB will not work, it definitely needs to be serial, even with a serial to USB adapter.
