 I've read that on some Garmin units you can press a given button for a
 set period of time to have it dump a screenshot to its SD card. But I
 haven't found out how to do this for my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx.

 Garmin has a utility called ximage which can do this, but I don't use
 win32, it doesn't run under Wine and I would rather do this without
 proprietary software anyway:

 The device's manual doesn't specify any key combo. So is there any way
 to retrieve a screenshot of its screen under *nix?


The new Garmin Oregon and Colorado units can take a screenshot by pressing
the power button (if properly configured), but as far as I know, xImage is
the only way to grab a screenshot from the older units. So, unless someone
has reverse-engineered the protocol for extracting images (doubtful) and
then written a *nix compatible utility, xImage is the only way you'll be
able to do it.

QLandkarte can take a screenshot.  It depends on the driver for a
particular GPS model so it possible that yours is not supported.

Unfortunately the newer QLandkarteGT does not appear to have
that feature.

Thank you, QLandkarte works perfectly for taking a screenshot just as
soon as I unload the garmin_gps driver.
