[OSM-talk] Garmin USB on Windows

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hi all,

A friend has bought a Garmin GPS 60 and would like to download tracks  
from it for OSM.

They use a Windows PC and, unfortunately, it's an employer's "managed  
laptop" so they can't install stuff on it - like the Garmin drivers.

Is there any way to download tracks from a USB Garmin on Windows  
without installing the drivers? GPSbabel will in principle run off a  
removable drive, but unfortunately seems to complain about the  
missing Garmin drivers. (This seems a bit weird given that it works  
fine on the Mac without installing any drivers.)

cheers
Richard
