It turned out that most of the protocol functions of native USB communication
are no longer properly supported. In fact only loading of the active track from the
device is working and a few of the unrelated protocols.
Garmin seems to prefer the GPX protocol to the native communication.
Supported protocol examples:
eTrex Vista HCX:P000 L001 A010 T001 A100 D110 A201 D202 D110 D210 A301 D312 D302 A400 D110 A500 D501 A600 D600 A601 D601 A700 D700 A800 D800 A801 D801 A900 A902 A903 A904 A905 D900 A907 D907 D908 D909 D910 A908 D911 A914 A916 A917 D917 A918 D918
eTrex 30: P000 L001 A010 T001 A301 D312 D302 A500 D501 A600 D600 A601 D601 A700 D700 A800 D800 A900 A902 A903 A904 A905 D900 A908 D911 A912 D912 A913 D913 A916 A917 D917 A919 A918 D918

(Menu-Options-Preferences-Garmin Map-tile filter)
2012-06-18:

[+] New command line option (debug only): /LogFile
[-] Fixed performance problem on frame-selecting large amount of map items
[+] Added ini-file location to Preferences/General
2012-02-22:
[*] Changed diagnostic features in ini-File
In section [Diagnostic] the entry RoutingMaxFrameNodes is not longer supported.
Use RoutingMaxFrameBytes= instead.
It limits the memory consumption of routing algorithm. On default
the limit is defined by the system's memory. On systems with
large memory and feeble processor a performance degradation
may be avoided by setting this limit.
On 64 bit versions of FancyRoute this parameter may prevent the system from swapping.
The drawback of memory limitation is a less optimal route on large distances.
Examples: 200M;100000 K;2000000000;1G
2012-02-16:
[+] Made project ready to compile for 64 bit Windows

2011-06-19:
[-] Fixed problem on Copy'n Paste (Unicode)
[-] Fixed problem on load/save Garmin map configurations
[+] Implemented large-distance routing (memory bounded)
+ Added diagnostic features to ini-File
- In section [Diagnostic] set RoutingDumpNextQueue=
to dump content of next frame's starting nodes.
- In section [Diagnostic] set RoutingMaxFrameNodes= to
limit the maximum number of nodes handled per frame. On default
the limit is defined by the system's memory. On systems with
large memory and feeble processor a performance degradation
may be avoided by setting this limit. The drawback of node
limitation is a less optimal route on large distances.
A good compromise for an AMD E-A350 per example is 100000.
2011-06-02:
[-] Fixed problem on export gestures to Unicode
ini-file (was unreadable for non-Unicode version)
2011-05-29:
[-] Fixed problem on saving gpx-files (crash in UTF-conversion)

Changed format for tile enumeration to boundary box.
[+] Menu-Edit-Copy Boundary Box: Select a particular map area
and copy it's coordinates to the clipboard. Usefull to
setup tile filter.
2011-03-27:
[+] Elevation server setup improved: Preferences-Elevation
[+] Tile filter added: Preferences-Garmin Map
Allows to exclude particular tiles from being displayed.
Use this to reduce mapped-memory size on large maps.
2011-03-19:
[+] Allow routing in raster maps using Garmin map
2011-02-13:
[-] Fixed crash on deleting multiple trackpoints using eraser tool,
