[Talk-ca] new member, need assistence in using Nuvi 265

[Bob Jonkman]

Hi Andy!  I've been using GPSBabel for a Garmin eTrex HCx.  It recognizes the 
device, and pulls the track info directly from it, then saves as a .GPX file.  This 
imports wonderfully with JOSM.

I've been cautioned against saving the tracks on the device itself; apparently the 
files saved by Garmins do not contain the timestamps that OSM requires in uploaded 
tracks.

If MLUG/MUMU is meeting this week I can show you how I do it.
