I am using a Garmin Forrunner 305 for many years.
I am a Linux user for many many years.
But Garmin ignores Linux. So, software's Linux compatibility will be part of my choice for my next GPS.
I afraid it won't be Garmin... :mad:
Most new Garmins work as USB mass storage devices.
So they work fine with Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android etc. Just plug it in, and it will appear as a disk drive, then you can copy files on or off. No drivers or special software required.
There is a variety of GPS software for Linux which can work with Garmin devices, depends on just what you want to do.
I use a Forerunner 305 and have used PyTrainer in Ubuntu to offload and view activities. The SF URL is http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytrainer/. It's a rather good application and is still under active development. When I had a Forerunner 110, I would manually upload the files from the wrist unit to GC.
