    GPS Device

    Good day Everybody,

    I am trying to get my GPS device to work on my Laptop with Feisty.
    The GPS unit is a Garmin Etrex ( really old version , no usb natively)
    My Laptop does not have any serial ports.

    I am using a serial -> USB Adaptor. And plugged in it shows this:

    andrew@The-Brain:~$ dmesg | grep tty
    [ 417.168000] usb 1-3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
    andrew@The-Brain:~$
    I have gpsdrive installed, yet I am not getting anything transmitted to the software.
    I have the device set to transmit on GARMIN protocol.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you
    Andrew
