Doesn't gpsbabel exist on mac? You may find that some variant on this 
script works for you - it's what I use on linux to to read tracks from 
my Garmin connected via a usb-serial adaptor:

#!/bin/sh
T=garmin,poweroff
I=/dev/ttyUSB0
D=`date +%Y%m%d-%H`
O=$HOME/gps/$D.gpx
echo Reading tracks from $T at $I, writing gpx to $O
gpsbabel -t -i $T -f $I -o gpx -F $O
ls -l $O
