NAME

6       garmin_save_runs - retrieve track logs from a Forerunner device.

SYNOPSIS

9       garmin_save_runs
10
11       garmin_save_runs  retrieves  track logs from a Garmin Forerunner device
12       connected to an USB port, and saves the information into files.   Files
13       are saved with the extension ".gmn" and are named by the run start time
14       (e.g. '20070121T151814.gmn').  The .gmn file format is  a  binary  file
15       format  that  can be unpacked with he garmin_dump or garmin_gmap utili‐
16       ties.  It is substantially more efficient than the bloated  XML  format
17       that Garmin uses.
18
19       The  output  of garmin_save_runs will tell you where on your filesystem
20       the actual .gmn files were saved.  The default is to  save  them  in  a
21       directory  tree  (by  year and month) under the current directory.  You
22       can override this by setting the environment variable  GARMIN_SAVE_RUNS
23       to whatever directory you like. Existing files are not overwritten.
