Hi to all,

I've just created a pull request for QMS containing support for locations file. QMS won't read the locations file automatically when the Garmin device is mounted. The locations file can be read like a normal GIS file from the hard drive.

Cheers
Ivo

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

Cheers
