Hi, I'm trying out the GPS Live Tracking Tool, so far the detailed information I found are in the manual and http://linfiniti.com/2010/01/gps-tracker-tool-in-qgis-trunk/
I plugged the etrex venture hc via USB and running gpsbabel, it seems to output nmea strings. gpsbabel -T -i garmin -f usb: -o nmea -F - $GPRMC,075417.000,A,1438.161,N,12104.699,E,1.94,124.11,200111,,*03 $GPGGA,075417.000,1438.161,N,12104.699,E,1,00,0.0,81.973,M,0.0,M,,*50 $GPVTG,124.110,T,0,M,1.944,N,3.600,K*5A $GPGSA,A,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0*32 However, I'm having difficulties connecting to gpsd and qgis' gps live tracking tool.
