how to SEND a gpx file towards a GPS device?

[Mauce]

Hi,

I own a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx and I just can't figure out how to send a gpx file towards the GPS receiver.
There are plenty exmaples on how to retreive data from the GPS device.
I am able to download waypoint, tracks and routes from my Garmin but that's not what I want.
I'd like to download a GPX file from geocaching.com which contains a waypoint and then send it to my Garmin device using gpsbabel.
The GPS receiver is connected via USB.

Please advice

Thanks in advance

Mauce

The cosher way is 'gpsbabel -i gpx -f your_file.gpx -o garmin -F :usb'.

It doesn't work on my linux 2.6.

Enabling garmin_gps module and trying '-F /dev/ttyUSB0' doesn't work too.

These instructions are for a Mac, but the PC version should be similar.

Using the GPSBabel GUI:

Operating Mode:  Waypoints

Input Options:  Use File, select your GPX file; Input file type - GPX XML

Output Options:  Use GPS receiver; Type - Garmin; Port - usb

Filters:  I use the Smart Shortnames, but that's optional.

Hit "Send GPS"  Should load.

Could you, please, tell which OS you use?

Please don't use someone else's help request for what is likely an unrelated one.

He's able to receive, so he has whatever drivers and combination of names he needs.  The answer is to read from "garmin" with whatever "file" he's using now.  If he's been receiving from garmin and writing to a GPX file with

gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx

he can do the reverse, sending files from the file to the GPS, with

gpsbabel -i gpx -f blah -o garmin -F usb:

Remember: left to right -i(nput file type) -f(ile) -o(utput file type) -F(ile)

Case matters.  http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-1.3.5/Invocation.html
