(It looks to me like the text in the drop-down is being extracted from the wrong source in the serial device object.) If you select the right one, you'll link to the GPS. The reality is that, while it isn't showing any text, each (empty) line is associated with a serial port and is selectable. Symptom is that the drop-down to select the serial port of the GPS appears to be empty, even after a refresh. I'm using Mac OS X 10.11.6 (15G31), and it shows on both the LTS version (2.14.3-Essen) and the most recently available nightly build from Dakota Cartography (QGIS_2-99-0_cd3f540). Re-opening this because the issue described by Larry Shaffer at #note-14 above is still present for me. The only link for Windows I found was a commercial software with a 14-day free trial called gpsgate. Possibly a dev can test this with gps emulation software. (I'm thinking that -F should be added to the %out or %in strings in the C code for this plugin.) I also had to add -F before %out to get the transfer to actually save the gpx file to disk. In my case, with a serial to usb device, I replace %in (for a download from gps device) with -f /dev/cu.usbserial-ftCASM51. In OS X, nothing shows up under Port, so you have to code the port into the device settings. I tell qgis to call the new layer "test", but anything will work here. Then I have to fill in the "Save as" box in the main GPS tools dialog with the path to the above test.gpx file. ?bel -i garmin -o gpx -f com4 -F "C:\\Documents and Settings\\User Name\\Desktop\\test.gpx" You have to hit "update device" to get this setting to stick. E.g., to get a waypoint layer loaded from the GPS device, I have to click on the device settings, go to waypoint download and make the line look like this: In order to get gpx download or upload support, you have to manually code the path to the gpx file in the GPS Device settings. When trying to download or upload gpx information from/to a GPS device, nothing happens (error reported about invalid layer when downloading).
