track upload to Garmin eTrex

Hi all, my summer vacation is approaching rapidly (it starts on Wednesday) and due to a lack of time earlier I am now struggling to get the planning for the cycling trip done in time. I planned the trip at my PC (with Windows/Fugawi due to a lack of suitable software and maps for Linux), now I'm faced with the problem that I cannot upload the whole trip at once to my Garmin. Previously I had a PalmOS compatible handheld with GPilotS which I used to carry my precanned tracks on the trip with me and then upload the current parts for the day with me. Each day I downloaded the recorded real track for archival. With my current handheld, an IPAQ running Linux, and gpsbabel I haven't managed to do the same yet. I described the problem with downloading the day's track in another email thread. But even uploading a single track to the Garmin doesn't work as expected. I now compiled 1.2.4_beta07242004 on my PC and invoke it as ./gpsbabel -i fugawi -o garmin -f ~/02_1_Aigues-Vives_Gignac.TXT -F /dev/ttyS0 The Garmin displays "upload complete", but in the track list nothing has changed. What I would expect is that a new track with some kind of synthesized name appears. The input file seems to be recognized. When invoked like this: ./gpsbabel -i fugawi -o cvs ~/02_1_Aigues-Vives_Gignac.TXT it prints: 0.000000N 0.000000E 43.7334947/4.1836630 0.000000 0.000000N 0.000000E 43.7321745/4.1879818 0.000000 0.000000N 0.000000E 43.7292939/4.1881480 0.000000 ... 0.000000N 0.000000E 43.6612650/3.7540369 0.000000 0.000000N 0.000000E 43.6622016/3.7473471 0.000000 which corresponds to the input file: 43.7409362,4.1756897 43.7409362,4.1756897 ... 43.6612650,3.7540369 43.6622016,3.7473471 Help, somebody help, please ;-) -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- Patrick.Ohly@xxxxxx patrick@xxxxxxx (MakeCD related mails) http://home.pages.de/~ohly/ http://makecd.core.de/ (MakeCD home page) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

Re: Track download Garmin

> In my case the Garmin as input format has several tracks and I just > want to download one of them. Is that possible? That wasn't what I understood your question to be at all. I think the Garmin protocol is going to give them all to you. There's no provision in GPSBabel today processingly only a subset of what it's given. > On my Garmin I have the current track log recorded by the device > itself and several tracks that I uploaded with Fugawi. They have > proper names to distinguish them, but at least the "custom" > format doesn't contain them. I thought it would be a direct dump You'll find that "custom" isn't a very "real" format; it's mostly for testing and development. If you export to a format that really knows about tracks (like, say, GPX) do you see multiple trksegs and names? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

That does not correspond with the format we know as "fugawi". It's reading the two numeric fields as shortname & description and the lat/lons are remaining zero. We do have a format of simple lat/lon pairs and it's called "arc". Please retry your experiement replacing "fugawi" in your input type with "arc". I think it's not doing anything interesting on your etrex upload becuase it's building a route that has all the points at the same coordinate.
