On my equipment, it certainly gets waypoints, and I
*think* it now gets routes, too; I haven't tried transferring
maps. (I use the rino 120 a lot more than the etrex vista, which
has far more map memory, because the rino does better at finding
and holding satellite connections under a forest canopy. The
etrex has therefore been demoted to mostly vehicle use.)
Small fly in my ointment: my thinkpad T42 -- with some
sort of adapter card, which uses a 6" cable with an ethernet plug
on its end and a serial port plug on the other -- does not find
the etrex nor the rino. I even tried closing the app and
re-opening it, with the GPS connected and turned on the whole
time.
I don't know any reason for the failure. Yum install tels
me garmin-sync is there and the latest version.
