+        It's reported successful with VistaC, SummitC, 60C, 60CS, 76C,

+        Quest is known to not work, not becuase of USB problems, but
+        rather becuase it only implements a new waypoint protocol that's
+        seemingly only available on that model.  If you have a Quest and
+        would like to see it supported and can provide patches or a loan
+        of the equipment for a few days, please contact Robert Lipe.
+
+        Currently, only a single USB unit at a time can be supported.  The
+        device name to use on the command line is "usb:"   Thus, to read
+       the waypoints from a Garmin USB unit and write them to a GPX file:
+
+               gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx
+
+        When reporting problems with Garmin, be sure to include the full
+        unit model, firmware version, and be prepared to offer debugging
+       dumps by adding "-D9" to the command line, like:
+
+               gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx
