[OSM-newbies] Can't download from my eTrex

[Anne Wilson]

For a number of reasons I haven't been able to do any more work on this since 
I bought the new eTrex.  Hopefully this will now change, but I've forgotten 
what I had learned, and am having to start afresh.  

Today I got a half hour walk saved.  I have the serial-to-usb adapter which 
worked with the old eTrex and this laptop, so I entered

gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F track1.gpx

which is the command that worked with the old one, but got

[ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout.  No data received.
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

What am I missing?  I definitely have it set to 'garmin'.  The adapter flashes 
reassuringly when attached.  I have a usb mouse attached also, but there is 
only one /dev/ttyUSBx.  Is the adapter not being recognised?
