I was aware of a problem with the way in which Garmin saves historical tracks, in that it strips out the time stamping data, and this makes it no use for OSM, (or I guess for geotagging photos either.)

The good news is that this does not apply to the tracks that are automatically stored on an inserted Micro SD card, at least not in my Vista HCx. I have set my unit to log to the card as well as its internal memory. When accessing my tracks using the mapsource manager i only access the current track, but if i put the GPS into USB Mass Storage mode, then i can browse a series of tracks, with one .gpx file per day.

I have pulled back these tracks, and successfully managed to upload one to the open street map.
