Garmin 60CSx used to just work... but as of U12.04/Mint 16 it isn't recognised without some tinkering...
1) Create file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules and add:
ATTR{idVendor}=="091e", ATTR{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
2) Restart udev :
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
3) replug the Garmin
4) start qlandkarte
(If you mucked about with the qlandkarte device settings, select "Garmin" and remove anything from the "Serial Port" parameter box.)
