Revision as of 05:41, 25 July 2015

Came after my venerable and worthy EMap and before the Garmin GPSMap 62 Sold on eBay, June 2015.

USB connection

The eMap has a serial port, very simple to use.

The eTrex has a USB port. To use it on Ubuntu I had to remove the standard Ubuntu package for gpsbabel and build a new version from source to get the USB support. I am currently using version 1.3.5
