  FYI, the opensource MacGPSBabel, v. 1.2.5, works perfectly to upload/download waypoints, routes, and tracks to a Vista C. I've been using it for a week now on both a Powermac G5 and a Powerbook G4, and my Vista C.

  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?

  Hi,
  I've got Mac GPSBabel, and everything works well when I download from the Vista C to my iBook Panther 10.3.8 (.gpx), but nothing happens when I upload road files or waypoint filescreated with gpsWrite 1.7.5 (.gps).
  What kind of output format do you use for upload, and what soft do you use to create and edit waypoints, tracks, etc... ?
  
  Thanks
  Phil
