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. -- Joe Riel |

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/ -- JS |

That appears to fix the metric issue. So far I've only got it to display the lap times and such, no map. Does it have a facility for that? Seems like it, but the doc is lacking. -- Joe Riel |

They used to use Google Maps, but the interface changed I think, and they were going to OpenStreetMaps, IIRC. -- JS |

Garmin on Linux
numbers no map ?
what I see n I doahn know programming. Mapsource is more tolerant than Homeport. Gar may suffer from pirates. and Delorme et al. Users may need communication more than location. |
