OK now I am confused. From what I've read Garmin doesn't make a USB driver for a Mac and has its own propriatary protocols and does not follow the NMEA standard. I have a Powerebook G4 and want to transfer waypoints to my new Garmin Vista C. According to MacGPSBabel documentation this is only supposed to work on a Windows machine. "New in GPSBabel 1.2.4 is USB support, but only under Windows." Yet you did it on a Powerbook. Please tell me more on how you did it. Did you use Virtual PC? Where did you find a USB driver?
