> The problem seems simples. I'm using QGIS 1.5 and Windows XP with a garmin

> When calling gpsbabel from command line everything runs smoothly.
> When loading the data directly from the gps using qgis' plugin the "Invalid

> The file is not even created and no signal comes from the gps.

I tested here on Ubuntu 10.04 and wasnt able to successfully download
either without your fix or with it (I used /dev/ttyUSB0 for %in).

What string did you use for linux?
