Dear Charley,
first of all have thanks for your intererest.
My Garrmin gives me the choice between fit & gpx or fit only.
Therefore I open the menu
English; Activities > advanced properties
(German: Aktivitäten > erweiterte Eigendschaften) (I hope I met English
wording for my German menu)
I took "Tracks(GPX/FIT).
So I can use both formats.
On the other hand I think QMS can read "Fit" as well.
Kind regards
Axel

Thanks Axel,
I guess the problem is that the new Garmin devices will be on FIT
format. All data will be stored in this format now.

Yes, my Garmin Edge 1000 will be mounted automatically when
connecting via USB cable. The I can use file browser to see all files
with may folder and files. Also the I see the two storages (internal
and SD card) of my Garmin Edge in QMS. Sending tracks and waypoints
from QMS to my Garmin is no problem, this works fine. But I can only
load tracks from my Garmin to QMS and not the manual created waypoints
from my Garmin to QMS.

What kind of format is your Etrex touch 35 using? GPX oder FIT format?

Hello Karl,
I'm not sure if I understand your problem well.
But it seems that you can access your Garmin device with mounting the
file structure and QMS.
In my device - an Etrex touch 35 - I found in the folder GPX the
waypoints I collected during my tours.
Further I created a project "POI" which I use for points only. This
project I send to my device via QMS as usual.
I can organize my points on internal storage and an SDHC card as well.
I hope that helps a bit!
Kind regards

Hello John,
thanks for your help by using GPSBabel.
I am using current GPSBabel Version: 1.5.4. (Downloaded and compiled
by my own).
I tried:
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
==> no result
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -i garmin_fit -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
==> no result
sudo ./gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin_fit -f usb:-1
==> "
GPSBabel Version: 1.5.4
fit: Cannot open file 'usb:-1'!
"
My Garmin Edge 1000 is mounted as a file device with direct access
to file structure. I guess usb: will not work here, maybe on older
Garmin devices, like my previous Etrex.
I found a "Location.fit" file in my Garmin file structure, I guess
in this file all the waypoints could be stored ?!
By using:
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -w -D9 -i garmin_fit -f Locations.fit -o gpx -F
gpsdata.gpx
it will create a gpsdata.gpx file (with some error message saying
"skipping unrecognized data type"). I can load gpsdata.gpx in QMS
and it is shown in data section but file is empty.
So I guess importing of waypoints is not supported in GPSBabel and
QMS right now.
Documenation of GPSBabel is stating it as well:
https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_garmin_fit.html
" ...
This format can...
read tracks
This format has the following options: allpoints .
allpoints option
Read all points even if latitude or longitude is missing.

Hi Karl
One option is to create a small script using gpsbabel to download
the data from your Garmin which in turn starts QMS or qlandkartegt
#!/bin/sh
sudo gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
sleep 2
qlandkartegt /home/john/gpsdata.gpx
signature-mini
Cheers
