No, this is not my statement; gpsbabel does no support the DG100
(which would be nice BTW....)

I use
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/dg100util/
"""
Tool to extract data from a GlobalSat DG-100 GPS data logger and store the
data in GPX format. It also can send configuration data to the device,
delete stored data and switch the device to GPS-mouse mode."""

If you have any problems with that, you should mail the developer
Stefan Kaintoch directly (he is very helpful),
and you can put me in CC, if you want.

Hope this helps, best wishes,

Arnd
