<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi <br><br>According to the GPS Babel documentation your unit (I have the same problem with an etrex 10 unit):<br><br>" uses GPX format, not Garmin protocol. Therefore one should
communicate with it by reading and writing GPX files instead of using
this format. Members of this class of products do not support realtime
positioning protocol"<br><br>I think this cause that you can not download your data directly in qgis. Try to use EasyGps (a free tool). You can download the data, save as gpx and integrate it in Qgis with GPS tools.<br><br>Hope it helps<br><br>Gerardo Jiménez Delgado<br>Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas<br>Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México<br>Ciudad Universitaria s/n<br>Coyoacan 04510
