Point 1 about creating a layer when there is no data - this iss fixed in Natty (0.9.94-3)
Point 2, also in Natty (0.9.94-3), there is rudimentary USB device detection.
Indeed, your 'Garmin' (what device exactly is it?) may not actually communicate via the Garmin GPS protocol, and you can simply browse files on the USB storage device and load gpx files directly.
Normally Garmin hand held types (e.g. Etrex range) talk the Garmin GPS protocol, whereas 'Sat Nav' types (e.g. Nuvi range) tend to be USB storage devices.
