Out of curiosity and to check if better Garmin fitness support fit
with the Globalsat devices, I checked with Mirko and speigei (the
maintainer for a GH-615 utility: http://code.google.com/p/gh615/)
Links to the DG-100 "specification" below. It seems like all Globalsat
devices uses their own protocol (or at least their own packet format),
so calling the format dg-100 is probably better than "globalsat".
My conclusion: This is not affecting Garmin-fitness at all.
Garmin needs competition, but Globalsat seems to have some work to do,
mostly on SW on the devices and the interface.
