[GIS] Garmin etrex 10 and QGIS

garmingpsqgis

I want to know if anyone has been able to download data from a etrex 10/20/30 directly from Qgis. The usb protocol decsribe in a recent post does not do the trick. GpsBabel documentation
states that

"This unit uses GPX format, not Garmin protocol. Therefore one should
communicate with it by reading and writing GPX files instead of using
this format. Members of this class of products do not support realtime
positioning protocol."

All I want is to be able to download my data within QGis

Thanks before hand

etrex 20 & 30 have microSD™ cards - you can read directly from the card from QGIS.

Note: Garmin Connect™ compatible (online community where you analyze, categorize and share data) so you can upload it then download the data to to view in QGIS.
