Which version of VirtualBox? The one on the Fedora repos doesn't support
access to USB devices since that requires a non-free license. You need
the free-to-use one from virtualbox.org (they have a repo file you can
install for updates). And of course enable the specific device from the
VB panel.

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.
