[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.8.2 GPS Tools and Garmin USB Connection

[Piotr Kania]

Hi all,

as a workaround try to use DNRGPS - it's free app 
(http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/DNRGPS/DNRGPS.html). In settings 
it's possible to set up your country epsg code, in that way all 
waypoints and traces transfered from garmin receiver to DNRGPS can be 
saved as shp in your preferred crs. If you would like to have altitude 
as a attribute in created shp you have to play around with waypoint 
settings - altitude column should be sth else than in default setting 
(string or number)
