Hi,
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.
