[Qgis-user] GPS Tools plugin

[Gerardo Jimenez]

Hi 

According to the GPS Babel documentation your unit (I have the same problem with an etrex 10 unit):

" 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"

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.

Hope it helps

I am not able to 'Download from GPS' & 'Upload to GPS' using model 'Garmin Map78S' in . 

OS is Windows-7 32 bit. 
GPSBabel-1.4.4-Setup.exe is installed. Port used is usb:. 

After reading official tutorial's 'Defining new device types' section, Waypoint download command line is changed as:


gpsbabel -w -i garmin -o gpx usb: F:\test\hks.gpx 

Message appears is 'The layer F:/test/hks.gpx?type=waypoint is not a valid layer and can not be added to the map'

What to do further? Is there any previous discussion for this?


Regards
