Hi Oliver et al, a friend of mine wants to use a Garmin handheld GPS device with QLGT, basically reading the GPS coordinates online from the device, e.g. for tracking the route. As far as I understand from wiki and Device & Xfer menu etc: the connection to the device via usb or mass device is supported.
MOST IMPORTANT: does this also apply to Windows ? Unfortunately I can't play with the device myself since we are 1800 km departed. I fear this questions has been raised to often and may annoy you. Anyway I raise it again. Can someone please provide a consolidated statement. And if not perhaps what needs to be done to do so ? cheers henrik On 02/21/2012 10:25 AM, Oliver Eichler wrote: > > Hi Steve > >> >> I'm new here, please be gentle with me ;) > > we will ;) > > >> However, when I run QLandkarte, set Garmin in Devices & Xfer preferences >> (with the Serial port blank as it's a USB device) and try to select a >> GPS Device in the sidebar, there are no specific entries in the dropdown >> menu, I only get (from top to bottom) <blank>, <QLandkarte M>, <blank>, >> <Garmin Mas Storage>, <NMEA>, <GPSD> >> > > If you select "Garmin" in "Devices & Xfer" the type combobox in the very same > dialog should get active.
