That should be supported by the latest gpsbabel version (and if not from
the last release, give the CVS HEAD a try). I'm using a Holux m241 and
gpsbabel works very well with it, the chipset in the i-Blue is a similar
one if I remember right, and there is a converter for that is in
gpsbabel, too, I think it's called mtk.
Usually I convert the logged data to gpx and import that in Merkaartor.

Hope that helps,

Bernd


P.S. A kml import would be great to have :)
