Dear mappers, could anyone point me to a good site walking me through the process of making the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx addressable with gpsbabel from my Linux system?
As of now, I tried to follow the steps described in the page gpsbabel points me to: http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html Being a user of Ubuntu Hardy Heron myself, I have now added the file named /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with the following contents: UBSYSTEM!="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", GOTO="garmin_rules_end" ACTION!="add", GOTO="garmin_rules_end" ATTRS{idVendor}=="091e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev" LABEL="garmin_rules_end" UBSYSTEM!="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", GOTO="garmin_rules_end" ACTION!="add", GOTO="garmin_rules_end" ATTRS{idVendor}=="091e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev" LABEL="garmin_rules_end" and restarted udev using udevadm trigger. The system still reacts to my gpsbabel approaches gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx with usb_set_configuration failed, probably because kernel driver '' is blocking our access to the USB device. For more information see http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html Surely I should deactivate kernel driver ''? That being said (partly out of frustration), I must admit that I admire the skill and effort that many have put into making up for insufficient documentation and support by the device vendor that Santa just rewarded by handing them over money for the specimen that rests on my desk. -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science.
