I have a Garmin Legend, though, when I come up with some extra cash, I'm
going to buy something like the GPSMap60. It has a better antenna, can
handle more waypoint and track points, and has maps. I use QGIS to
download/upload from/to my GPS. I only needed GPSBabel before QGIS had
on-the-fly projection.
