This software provides Linux users with the ability to communicate with the
|
||
|
|
Garmin Forerunner 305 via the USB interface. While this is the only Garmin
|
||
|
|
unit that I own, I did implement all of the documented Garmin protocols as of
|
||
|
|
Rev C (May 19, 2006) over the USB physical link. This means that if you have a
|
||
|
|
Garmin with a USB connection to a PC, you ought to be able to use this
|
||
|
|
software to communicate with it.

If you're looking for a complete solution to all of your Linux Garmin GPS
|
||
|
|
needs, this is not it. I own a Garmin Forerunner 305 and wrote this code
|
||
|
|
specifically so I could download and save data from that particular GPS unit
|
||
|
|
to my Linux machine. I tried gpsbabel, but found that it did not have command
|
||
|
|
line options specific to the Forerunner run and lap data - all I could do was
|
||
|
|
get the tracklog. That's how all of this got started. I also wanted a few
|
||
|
|
other things, like the ability to convert a track log into a Google maps
|
||
|
|
encoded polyline, and (eventually) the ability to generate PNG images of heart
|
||
|
|
rate and elevation data.
