[Qgis-user] Re: connecting to GPS

[Harald Hofmann]

Hi Bob,
I haven't really followed the discussion on the GPS use with QGIS.
I just saw it this morning again and thought I may give it a try. I am 
using a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx and QGIS 1.7.1 on a Mac.
My first couple of trials weren't successful until I actually chose the 
usb: port instead of anything else that is displayed under 'Port'. Silly 
me...
It works without problem. Got all way points, tracks and routes of the GPS.

Don't know if that is helpful

Cheers,
Harald
