<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>worksforme</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Closed</i></li></ul><p>for live tracking on Windows use GPSGATE as a way to put in communication QGIS and the GPS, is very simple and easy to use.</p>
<p>Live tracking and download data from GPS are two different things, the first needs qgis to communicate real time with the GPS, for the second QGIS uses GPSBABEL in the middle, that is now source of many troubles.</p>

<p>I'm closing this because the last time I tested qgis/windows/and garmin USB units and live tracking it was working ok using GPSGATE (an alternative I know is <a class="external" href="http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1627">http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1627</a> but I havn't tested myself).</p>
