Gpsbable will access it no problem.  Though I've been using my amod way more
often because it seems to aquire satalites faster and records data in nmea
format accessable as a standard usbdrive.  I do have to convert those to gpx
but there is a handy script on the osm wiki for doing that.  Its main
drawback is not being able to take a picture of the gps time to sync a
camera.

How easy to pull the data from? Is standard GPX  data available over
USB or BT as a thumb-drive filesystem, or are proprietary drivers that
require MS windows required? Linux & Mac users don't want to run
drivers in Virtual box if we can avoid it.
