Hi,

had the same message today when trying to download tracks from my garmin device via usb. It turned out to be the usb-Driver has not been installed on this machine. Installing it solved the problem. As you say gpsbabel itself works, maybe you misconfigured the device or the port. Just a guess, though.

all the best

Trying 1.7 on Windows. It seems that the GPSTools plugin still does not
successfully  download from a GPS instrument. I still (it was the same with 1.6)
get an error such as:

"The layer bike.gpx?type=waypoint is not a valid layer and can not be added to
the map"

I tried both the OSGeo4W setup and the standalone installer. Same result.
Note that using the GPSBabelFE GUI works fine, as does gpsbabel from the command
line. Using either of these methods, the resulting gpx file can be loaded with
the GPSTools plugin. But the "Download from GPS" option within the GPS Tools
plugin does not seem to work.

Anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Micha
