[request] SportWatcher - tool to use Garmin GPS-watches under Linux

Hi,
i'd love to use my Garmin GPS-Watch under Arch, but tbh I'm to new to arch and don't have the time (at the moment) to have a look on how to create packages and stuff.
I'd be really pleased if someone could create a package for me (guess that there might be some more guys that are interessted in that).
You can get the source and such stuff from http://www.theosys.at/sportwatcher/index.html
Thanks and cheers,
hub

it 's in AUR!
I do the package

Upload data from a Garmin GPS watch.

I would like to download data from a Garmin GPS watch directly to my iPad Mini but can't find how to do it. I can physically connect it with a 'Lightning to USB Camera Adapter' lead which works well with a camera to download photographs, but when connected to the watch it always returns the message:
'Cannot use device: IOUSBCompositeDevice: the connected device uses too much power'.
Is there some way around this or do I need some other piece of equipment?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Garmin's manual doesn't mention anything about the type of systems that can be used.
All it says is 'Plug the USB cable into a USB port on your computer'. Their website isn't much help either.
That has worked ok from a PC laptop for a couple of years but the PC is now defunct and I don't want to replace it.
I would rather just use the iPad as my main connection with the www as it does most of the things I need.
Except this :-)

How can I use the windows LookAndFeel under linux??

Some sample code would be great ;-)
Thanks a million,
Serano.

really ? amazing ....
I don�t like this "range agains MS" wave, but it is a ridiculous stuff.. to protect the visual aspect of a system ?!?
crazy world....
anyway, you may "simulate" the Windows look and feel, but I think it is much effort just to set a GUI visual aspect...
two forms of this "simulation":
1 - search in the SUN jars and get the file containing this L&F definitions, then change some classes name and create a new (fake) class defining the Win L&F
2 - create a theme class containing colors, borders and all other necessary stuff to simulate the Win L&F.
of course the second way is much more elegant (and honest :^) ) .. but, you know, when a big company plays a bad game,all other players may adopt the same behaviour :^)))
take a look in the MetalWorks example about how to create a customized theme (if you still motivated to use something like Windows L&F)
I�m a little bit shocked with this copryght restriction.... it doesn�t make sense...

Using JCOP tools under Linux

Hello.
I looked through the older web sites of IBM regarding the usage of JCOP tools under Linux.
I am interested in following questions:
1. Is there any separate distributon version of JCOP tools for Linux?
2. Can sample JCOP tools 3.1.2 plugin (for Windows) be used under Linux. What has to be modified? Also what additional tools have to be installed an used for communication with real cards through PC/SC readers.
3. Is JCOP simulation option available under Linux?
I'll appreciate any help.
Best regards,
newbie

h2. Using JCOP Tools with Linux (>= 3.2.0)
h3. ___
Overview
The current JCOP Tools release now also offer a version for the popular Linux
operating system. Both the Windows and Linux verson provide more or less the same
functionality, and JCOP application development can thus fully succeed on Linux systems.
Nevertheless, installation of the JCOP Tools differ between Windows and Linux
where the Linux version does not provide a simple installer as in case of Windows.
Additionally, the Linux version expects a properly setup Muscle PCSC installation
as soon as you want to use them together with physical, real cards. As Muscle
PCSC is still not shipped with most Linux distributions, you must download and
install them separately from the JCOP Tools.

Software Requirements
Linux distribution
The JCOP Tools simulation has been developed on a Fedora Core 6 system, but should also work in case of
many other recent Linux distributions.
Java Development Kit
The JCOP Tools have been developed and tested with the Sun JDK 1.4.2_13-b06
for Linux. Your success with other Development Kits may vary as there are
partly subtle differences across the different devlopment kits.
PCSC
The JCOP Tools use PCSC to talk with real cards on Linux. Most distributions
do not ship with Linux PCSC by default (Fedora Core 6 does), you must thus download it fromhttp://www.linuxnet.com
and install it by yourself. If you are used to software installation under Linux,
and are not afraid of compiling and installing software packages, this should
not be a hard problem. You have to download both the base PCSC package
(including PCSC daemon and client libraries) and separately the driver
for the reader you want to use. The PCSC package contains a test program
which should tell you whether your installation is set up correctly and
communicating with a card works. The JCOP Tools have been reported to
work together with Muscle PCSC version 1.3.1-7.
JPCSC
The JCOP Tools are shipped with JPCSC which you can also download athttp://www.linuxnet.com. JPCSC
is a JNI library which offers Java applications the access to PC/SC functions
by mapping their requests to an underlying native PC/SC implementation. The JCOP
Tools - mostly written in Java - thus depend on JPCSC to communicate with real cards
on Linux. JPCSC depends on a properly installed and setup PC/SC environment.
Especially, the JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH should list the directories where the
PC/SC client libraries and the native JPCSC library libjpcsc.so ( downloadable as binary from
Windows Binary Download Here )
are installed, the CLASSPATH variable should list th___
Miscellaneous
What should work
As soon as you setup your system correctly, there should only be minor differences
between using JCOP Tools on Windows or on Linux. Emulating a real JCOP,
debugging, shell, cap-file conersion should all be possible as in case of Windows.
What is missing
No drivers or tools are currently available for using JCOP30's in contactless
mode. If you need such support, please contact directly NXP
at for further assistance.

Has anyone worked with communicating with a Garmin GPS using their protocol?

I need to obtain current position (lat/long/elev) and Waypoint data from a Garmin GPSmap 76CS using the Garmin protocol. Read only, I do not need to write. Any help would be appreciated.

I have attached a series of vis that I use to retrieve the waypoints from a Gecko Garmin gps. I think it should work with a 76CS model, although Garmin has the bad habit to change the data format quite often...
I also have some utilities to convert to UTM coordinates. Ask if you need them.

N82 Black using Garmin XT - No proximity alerts - ...

Hi,
I have the N82 black with Garmin XT installed.
The maps for my country are detailed (unlike Nokia Maps), and the GPS works fine apart from not making any alert sound for proximity to POI's which I've installed.
I have tried everything possible (www.POI-factory.com), including changing CSV files to GPX/Mp3 to WAV (44100 bit), and even using the default alert setting - nothing!
The POI's display with no problem, as do my BMP pictures, all in the right location.
I am at the end of my tether now after spending several weeks trying to get the solution.
This is very important, as where I'm located, there are dead-end tracks, jungle (YES Jungle!) and rivers and lakes appear from nowhere, so correct turns could mean the difference between life and death - literally!
If anyone has got the Proximity alerts working on a N82 black, using Garmin XT, I would be very interested and grateful if they could take me through how they achieved it!
I have posted this request all over different GPS - POI sites, but no-one seems familiar with either the phone or the Garmin Mobile XT program.
The version I'm using is ****.60.
Thank in advance!
Paul in SE Asia.

Have you tried contacting garmin support?
It's clearly an issue with the program, not the phone.

Garmin, GPS & Googleearth

Hi!
I want to plan and transfer waypoints & tracks from Googleearth to a Garmin GPS without using Windows.
First of all, is this possible? Anyone tried this?
Second: What do I need for this? What device, what (free) software for converting and transferring? Is any USB Garmin capable of doing this?
Thanks alot!
Walter

DianneS, Welcome to the discussion area!
It sounds that using google and babel are easier and better than the garmin software and hence there is no advantage in waiting . Is that correct?
I need to access my GPS data today so there is no advantage for me to wait for a promised product.
...do you know if the zumo 550 holds any advantage over other motorbike versions?
Sorry but I have no experience with the Zumo 550 nor any Garmin motorbike products. I use the above recommended software with the Garmin eTrex Venture Cx.
If the Zumo 550 is similar to the StreetPilot c530 there is very little data which can be transferred to/from the computer. About the only thing you can download is POI (points of interest). You do this using Garmin's POI Loader and there is a Mac version of that utility. I have not tested that utility.

Garmin GPS recognized?

I have a Garmin GPS nuvi 255W. I have used the Garmin WebUpdater in the past. Recently my MBP does not recognize the unit when I connect the USB. The Garmin unit come on indicating a connection between the unit and the computer but there is not indication of a connection in the "Finder" file. The GPS unit shows a computer/unit connection for about 1 min and then turns on and goes to the map. I have tried two different USB ports, which have been used with a TomTom unit and another computer but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Sorry to bother all of you. After reading, what I wrote, I see that it is a Garmin unit problem and not computer related. What an idiot I am. In any case thanks for the opportunity to address this issue and then see my erro.

Connecting a Garmin GPS USB

I'm a somewhat new convert to the mac world, so thank you in advance for understanding. I have a Garmin GPS that I was able to connect through USB on a windows PC formerly, but now can't figure out how to get it to connect under my Parallels installation of Win XP using Garmin's City Navigator mapping software, which is apparently not yet available in the Mac OS.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

You don't.
USB devices must be specifically supported in a
virtualized environment. Use BootCamp instead.
If you want to keep trying to use it via Parallels,
install the 3096 beta build.
I downloaded the 3096 beta build and still couldn't connect. Interestingly, with my old G-3, I had downloaded Palm Desktop which would hot synch with my Garmin iQue, to transfer addresses and date book data (Palm Desktop wouldn't allow transfer of map data). Now, with my fancy new MacPro with Windows XP Pro, I can't connect with my GPS in Windows, and I cannot synch with it in the Mac OS with Palm Desktop.
I spent an hour with a Garmin tech who admitted that he wasn't too hep on the Mac, but was unable to solve the problem of not recognizing the GPS with a Hot Synch. He did say that Garmin was working on new drivers to allow the Mac and Garmin to connect but it could be months away.

My firefox is preventing to install Garmin GPS program. How Can I temporary disable firefox to all Garmin program?

Hi:
I like to install my Garmin GPS program. Firefox is preventing to install this. How Can I solve this problem?
Thanks

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I am wondering what tools were used in the "Body Evolution" video

Hi,
I am wondering what the names of the tools that were used in the "Body Evolution" video? I know somw of them, but I don't know what tools they used for the eyes, nose and to stretch the legs.
Thank you!

Station Two,
I am not in the habbit of, nor do I ever plan to be in the habbit of, photoshopping things to death for the pupose of making it "picture perfect."
I have always been a person that loves to know how. I may never use it, I just like to know how. Take a look at my work:
https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminRootPhotography
I definitely know it wasn't meant to be a tutorial, and personally, I think it's sick when someone photoshops a person like that.
Like I said before, it all just looked different to me and I wondered what they used.
I mainly use Photoshop to correct lighting, or to put someone on a different background, or to add a little color to something, or corect some minor things that they request; but a bove all, I alway try to make it look realistic and like the person.

Unity 7 VM Web/SA page comes back the requested resource is in use

When I go to the http://<unity-server-ip>/web/sa web page I get a "the requested resource is in use"
This is on a unity server that is running on win2k3.
This all started when the winsocks got corrupt. I had to manually rebuild the TCP/IP connection on the network adapter.
The system from the end user point of view is up and functional. I just have no interface to make changes.
any ideas would be helpful

Hi Caseylou!
==
I'm no web services guru but it looks like you may be specifying the wrong port for your web service. Port 4848 if the admin port for SJSAS. I believe you need to modify 4848 to be 8080 which is the default HTTP port for SJSAS. If you modified this port adjust accordingly.
==
I will try this first thing in the morning when I am back in the office..
However, I am wondering why in the deploy tool in the tree I only saw this top level entry:
Servers > localhost:4848
Wouldn't it have another for localhost:8080?
Or maybe I have to start a new server..

Why can't I update my Garmin GPS data with version 5?

I'm trying to update my Garmin GPS data and Firefox 5 isn't compatible!!!! This is very upsetting. I DO NOT like version 5. I can't get the Lexmark toolbar, either. I wrote to Firefox about wanting to switch back to version 4, along with a lot of other people. I want to download version 4 and update my GPS!!!!!!!

Try using this extension to force compatibility.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Check and tell if its working.
IF the problem persists install earlier versions from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Iphone and garmin gps

Hello,
Does anyone know if any of the garmin gps units, specifically the 680, work with the bluetooth on the iphone?

I have two Nuvi 680s and my iPhone pairs up perfectly. The phonebook works flawlessly, you can dial the number and even bring up the dial pad during a call to use touch tones. You can hang up a call, choose to ignore the call and see the call duration. Recent calls and missed are also shown on the Nuvi.
All you have to do is pair up the phone with the Nuvi and it will work! Much easier than when I had a Treo650.
Enjoy!
