Hello Karl,
I'm not sure if I understand your problem well.
But it seems that you can access your Garmin device with mounting the
file structure and QMS.
In my device - an Etrex touch 35 - I found in the folder GPX the
waypoints I collected during my tours.
Further I created a project "POI" which I use for points only. This
project I send to my device via QMS as usual.
I can organize my points on internal storage and an SDHC card as well.
I hope that helps a bit!
Kind regards
Axel

Hello John,
thanks for your help by using GPSBabel.
I am using current GPSBabel Version: 1.5.4. (Downloaded and compiled
by my own).
I tried:
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
==> no result
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -i garmin_fit -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
==> no result
sudo ./gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin_fit -f usb:-1
==> "
GPSBabel Version: 1.5.4
fit: Cannot open file 'usb:-1'!
"
My Garmin Edge 1000 is mounted as a file device with direct access to
file structure. I guess usb: will not work here, maybe on older Garmin
devices, like my previous Etrex.
I found a "Location.fit" file in my Garmin file structure, I guess in
this file all the waypoints could be stored ?!
By using:
sudo ./gpsbabel -t -w -D9 -i garmin_fit -f Locations.fit -o gpx -F
gpsdata.gpx
it will create a gpsdata.gpx file (with some error message saying
"skipping unrecognized data type"). I can load gpsdata.gpx in QMS and
it is shown in data section but file is empty.
So I guess importing of waypoints is not supported in GPSBabel and QMS
right now.
Documenation of GPSBabel is stating it as well:
https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_garmin_fit.html

Hi Karl
One option is to create a small script using gpsbabel to download the
data from your Garmin which in turn starts QMS or qlandkartegt
#!/bin/sh
sudo gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F gpsdata.gpx
sleep 2
qlandkartegt /home/john/gpsdata.gpx

Cheers
