this should be removed.

garble was removed some time ago.

maybe the advantage was, that it wrote the files directly for gpsdrive, but I 
don't really know that. There have been a lot of changes in gpsdrive's 
handling of route, track, and waypoint data in the last time, including gpx 
import. So I would use gpsbabel for getting data from a garmin, but as I 
don't own such a device, I never tried this.
