Re: Garmin GPS-18 connected by USB



usbserial is loaded

gpsd -p /dev/ttyUSB0 does not seem to work
gpsd -p /dev/ttyUSB1 does not seem to work

I have pointed gpsprobe at port entries as well.  It just says
"Waiting for /dev/ttyUSB0" and never gets past that.

If it matters, the GPS seems to work on my Windows XP system; just not
on this system (my Debian one).
