I am back with another issue, again ' v.in.gpsbabel' module!
My GPS unit records data in UTM projection with WGS84 datum. I
just attempted to import the waypoints into GRASS using a
Garmin MapSource text (tab delimited) file.

$ gpsbabel --help | grep -i garmin
        garmin301 Garmin 301 Custom position and heartrate
        glogbook Garmin Logbook XML
        gdb Garmin MapSource - gdb
        mapsource Garmin MapSource - mps
        garmin_txt Garmin MapSource - txt (tab delimited)
        pcx Garmin PCX5
        garmin_poi Garmin POI database
        garmin Garmin serial/USB protocol
        gtrnctr Garmin Training Centerxml

try the "garmin_txt" format.

also if it is just tab delimited you can use v.in.ascii with the appropriate number of skip lines and column numbers. that's a lot
more robust than the gpsbabel method.

I did not check -k flag (do not transform from WGS84).

that means lat/lon wgs84 by the way, not just the wgs84 datum.
