It gets worse :(

The laptop that I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 was the PC I was using to
copy tracks from the Garmin, because it recognised the Garmin as a USB-
to-serial converter, so I could do things like gpsbabel -f /dev/ttyUSB0
and read the tracks directly from the serial port.

Now the laptop is the same as my desktop: it only recognises the Garmin
as a USB device, and doesn't create a serial port.

It seems that my hacked qlandkarte can read the tracks from the Garmin
and write them in .gpx format, so at least I should be able to continue
surveying.
