[Qgis-user] How do I configure GPS Plugin on QGIS

[Harish]

I have GARMIN Map78s GPS and not able to work with 'GPS Tools'. I read that
'GPS tools' uses GPSBabel, and Manual of GPSBabel (page 47-48) says for
Map78s and some other models that,

"The following Garmin GPS receivers are supported, but they do not support
Garmin communication
protocol and don't work with the garmin option. To use these receivers,
read or write GPX files from
the mass storage device as mounted on your computer."

Problem may lies here or in our method/steps.

Regards
