I have a Garmin 205 that I'd like to use on Linux, without Wine.
I can upload the data but need a way to usefully graph/display it.
Before rolling my own, am wondering if anyone knows of something
suitable.


Again, don't know if this works with a 205, but was good for the 305.

Got it installed and kind-of working. Had to remove the garmin_gps
kernel module, and blacklist it, to prevent it from interfering with
gpsbabel.

There appears to be a nasty bug, at least in the version I have.
The metric/english units are screwed up. If I set it to metric,
the computed lap distances are shown as in km's, which is expected,
but the actual values are in miles. However, the total distance
is given in km's. Setting it to English units gives the total
in miles, but the lap distances, shown as miles, are neither miles
nor kilometers.


Yetch. I haven't used it for some time, and actually made a few small
contributions a long time ago. Maybe try an older version? I think
it's all Python, and you can basically run it from the source directory,
IIRC.

There are also methods to convert the raw data to files that Strava
accept. I used "garmintools" I think, available from
https://code.google.com/p/garmintools/
