I have the GT-200e, it works fine either as a standalone datalogger or as an 
external GPS via bluetooth.

There is a program (igotu2gpx) to extract the logs for linux and macos
https://launchpad.net/igotu2gpx/
version 0.3.0 is outdated, you should take the source from the trunk
https://code.launchpad.net/~igotu2gpx/igotu2gpx/trunk
and if you want to clear the memory from a GT-200e or GT-600 you should take 
the branch (or apply its changes to the trunk, it has not been integrated 
yet)
https://code.launchpad.net/~charles-fleche/igotu2gpx/gt600

The program is based on qt4 (even the command line tool), and the gui has an 
optional plugin to display the tracks over an OSM map using marble.
