   Cannot read Garmin device on Slack15   
   06 May 22 14:58:26   
   
   From: NoEMail@home.org   
      
   I have been trying to read data from my garmin301   
   forerunner. I used sbopkg to build gpsbabel.   
   I then used slackpkg to update all (manY).   
      
   With 14.2 and previous I used this command to   
   access the data:   
      
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
      
   This doesn't work with 15.0:nothing is read back   
      
      
      
   According to an online post, one needs to :   
   echo -n "1-1:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage/unbind   
   which didn't fix the problem.   
      
   When the garmin is connected I get the device ttyUSB0 created.   
   The gpsbabel help shows two garmin entries (garmin and garmin301)   
      
   Then I tried this sequences of gpsbabel commands:   
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f usb: -o garmin301 -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f usb: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin301 -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
   gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0: -o gtrnctr -F /ram/outfile.gpx   
      
   The last command yields a file /ram/outfile.gpx but it   
   does not contain the data. That file reads:   
      
      
      
        
        
      
      
   All this has taken several hours of work just to read the garmin301.   
      
   Please, will anyone who has read the Garmin 301 Forerunner under 15.0   
   give me the trick?   
      
   Thanks.
