v.in.garmin needs the PROJ4 programs installed, including cs2cs.
It uses cs2cs to reproject from WGS84 Lat/Lon into your current map
projection.

As PROJ4 is a mandatory requirement for GRASS 6, usually cs2cs is
already installed on your system? If not you'll need the full PROJ
install, not just the libraries..


gpsd is for real-time GPS logging; v.in.garmin is for end-of-the-day
downloading of tracks, waypoints, and routes into a GRASS vector file.
