GPSBabel not recognizing Garmin Nuvi-260w

Hello all my apologies for posting this thread in possibly the incorrect place. I am using LinuxMint 19.1 Tara 64 bit edition with the Mate Desktop.

Trying to setup GPSBabel for my Garmin Nuvi 260w which I just purchased second hand. The device does in fact work as far as powering up and receiving a satellite signal. Also the desktop does recognize the Garmin file folder.

The tutorial that I am following is located here: ----> http://hselab.org/garmin-gps-ubuntu.html

I have worked through this tutorial a few times now up until the following highlighted section when GPSBabel is unable to locate the Garmin:

Use GPSBabel to transfer data from GPS to computer

Code:lsusb shows the Garmin as follows:

Bus 003 Device 008: ID 091e:22e1 Garmin International

The permissions appear to be in order as follows. ---->

ThinkCentre-M57p:/etc/default$ ls -al /dev/bus/usb/003/*
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 256 Sep 26 13:15 /dev/bus/usb/003/001
crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 189, 263 Sep 26 14:26 /dev/bus/usb/003/008

Also following the tutorial I have created the udev rule as follows: ---->

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="091e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="22e1" MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

When attempting to executing the GPSBabel with the following input no Garmin device is found.

Code: gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb: -1Found no Garmin USB devices.

I would really appreciate some help on this.

Thank You,
