[Qgis-user] GPSTools plugin - not downloading from GPS

[Bernhard.Stroebl at jena.de]

Hi,

had the same message today when trying to download tracks from my garmin 
device via usb. It turned out to be the usb-Driver has not been 
installed on this machine. Installing it solved the problem. As you say 
gpsbabel itself works, maybe you misconfigured the device or the port. 
Just a guess, though.

all the best

Bernhard
