[OSM-newbies] GPS tracks in realtime on laptop?

[Chris Hunter]

I'm not sure what Charlotte is talking about with here, but I've had a 60Csx
for about a year now and it's pretty easy to connect to a laptop.

Andy: What is your end goal of having the GPS track on your laptop w/o
realtime internet access?  If you're wanting to correct OSM data on the fly,
use JOSM with GPSBabel and Surveyor plugins (you'll need to install GPSBabel
BTW).  If you want to display your location against any map (OSM or
Garmin's), download and install the Garmin nRoute software from the web.  If
it's no longer on Garmin's site (which would shock me), I'm pretty sure I
have a copy of the installer on my machine.
