I've got an old Garmin for the car & an eTrex for in my pocket, I
update them both from Open Street Maps. The devvices come up without
problem & the chosen maps are just copied to the SD card.
Just as an added note: To get access to the usb devices with virtualbox the
user has to have the group vboxusers selected. Otherwise they don't get
access to usb devices.
