- Garmin (USB based devices or serial devices coupled with a USB converter)
- Magellan (USB based devices or serial devices coupled with a USB converter)
- Wintec WBT-100, WBT-101 and WBT-201 via USB and Bluetooth

Then she said: what if I don't have photos? I just want to see where I went.
Thus arrised the need to be able to create plain KML files.
Turns out GPSBabel is good at that. All it needed was a decent UI. I hope I was able to provide that to my mother. And I gladly share it with all of you.
Please support the GPSBabel project.

Don't know if it's compatible with my Forerunner, but there doesn't seem to be a list so hard to say.
I couldn't test it with all devices out there, but many people use GPSBabel with great success. The catch is that in order to get Wintec compatibility, I had to resort to a beta version of GPSBabel. This appears to have problems with Garmin devices that I was not aware of when releasing.
You might want to swap out the bundled version of GPSBabel for the latest stable version. Or you could wait for the next version of GPSBabel. When that is released I will issue an update to HoudahGPS.

I just found out about it last week -- it is FANTASTIC for cycling/hiking/running/whatever GPS use, specifically with the Garmin Edge and Forerunner computers.
Works with Google Earth, gives you ALL sorts of data... it is FAR better than the apps Garmin gives you.

However, Load My Tracks works great!

HoudahGPS was never meant as a competition to LoadMyTracks. LMT is excellent software which I like a lot. It does however not support the Wintec devices. Conversely it supports many devices which GPSBabel does not support. Use what suits your needs. It's free after all.
