Hi,

Many thanks codemonkey for your input.

The Forerunner does for sure not show up as a memory stick. I think I won't need a specific driver. I tried it with my fileserver which runs standard OpenSuse 11.2 out of the box.

There it's possible to plug-in the Forerunner and to capture its data with gpsbabel without any extra driver or any additional piece of software. The garmin protocol which is implemented in the garmitools is implemented in gpsbabel as well.

There seems something wrong with Linux on the N800. When I access the Forerunner as the device freezes and reboots automatically even with a simple "lsusb".

Any more thoughts?
