The waypoint dumps are in some weird format: Invisibly translated under Windows, with the supplied software, but a bit of a pain with Linux. So you'd only need the windows box for converting the dumps, after mapping. Or if you're plugged into tangoGPS, then no problem, you can just take waypoints in the software directly. Here is the reply from Locosys on 4th March. " The conversion can be done by using NAVILINK utility. However NAVILINK only support Windows platform. GPSBabel 1.3.6 does not support the binary format conversion yet. We are checking with GPSbabel author if it is possible to add the feature in next release." So its possible it might be OK by now.
