Importing GPS Data from Devices

GPS data can be directly imported from some types of devices connected via USB bus (or wirelessly, if supported). Currently the only tested devices are:

It is likely that other Garmin devices such as the Edge 705 which support GPX export also work, but I do not have any to test with. I will try to add other device support in the future, but may need community help since I don't own any others myself.

To import files directly from a GPS device, plug the device in and let your OS mount it as a USB drive. The device will be auto-detected by ZTGPS. Use the "File/Import from Device..." menu or toolbar icon, which will present a list of auto-detected GPS devices, like this:

You can select one or more of the displayed devices, and click the Import button, which will then display the Import Dialog. The rest of the import process is identical to importing from files.

This list will react to devices being mounted or unmounted. They must be mounted somewhere on the filesystem to be auto-detected.
