<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Hamish, thanks for your suggestion about fixing the GPS Babel application issue. It worked and now I can run the module.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">I am back with another issue, again ' v.in.gpsbabel' module! My GPS unit records data in UTM projection with WGS84 datum. I just attempted to import the waypoints into GRASS using a Garmin MapSource text (tab delimited) file. I did not check -k flag (do not transform from WGS84). I kept the format box in the Required tab in default and provided PROJ.4 parameter for UTM </p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">[ <span style="font: 13.0px 'Lucida Grande'">+proj=utm +zone=36 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs</span> ] in the Proj box of the Required tab, since this module assumes lat/long projection with WGS84 datum.</p>
