Garmin GPS-18 connected by USB
I have recently purchased a GPS that I hoped would be portable and easy to use.
The Garmin GPS-18 is about the size of a 6' tape measure.
It is USB and gets its power from USB.
However, I cannot get gpsd to talk to it. Because of that, the other
programs that work with the GPS (xgps, gpsman, gpsdrive) can't find it
either.
Maybe I am not configuring something correclty.
Does anyone know how to set this up so it will work?
lsusb show:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 091e:0003 Garmin International GPSmap 60C
But apparently I don't know how to configure gpsd to look at it.
dpkg-reconfigure gpsd tell me to use something like /dev/ttyUSB0.
I've tried that and I've tried /dev/ttyUSB1.
No joy.
I've seen some tools on sourceforge (garmin_gps), but they require a 2.6 kernel.
I've got: Linux 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Wed Dec 1 19:43:08 JST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Any suggestions?
