What GPS unit is everyone using in Linux?
I have recently purchased a Holux gr-231 and am fighting with it, I was wondering what everyone else is using and what sort of sucess you are having with Linux.

What modules are you loading for the GPS device to work? usbserial?Originally Posted by Change
I have a Holux-GM210; I got it off E-bay from gps4evyone. I have had it running with GPSDrive on Slackware 10.1. According to dmesg it is a prolific pl2303 usb-to-serial adapter on /dev/ttyUSB01. All I had to do was include the pl2303 driver in the kernel (as a module). I am planning on spending some time this weekend getting it and iGuidance 2.1 running on my laptop (Ubuntu 5.10).

Interesting, the same driver is used for the 231. I am getting weird usb errors with mine (error device does not accept ID [number] error: -71). -71 is a protocol error. I haven't spent much time on the GPS unit as I am still trying get the touchscreen working. Let me know how it goes for you, I may pick one of the 210s up if I get tired of fighting with the 231.
Are you using gpsd to communicate with your GPS?

Yeah I have gpsd installed, but the problem seems to be at a lower level. The GPS isnt getting a usb ID # and is not showing up in the /proc file system. I will get some more info on this.
Ha! You said unit!
NavMan, just testing it tho.

Im using a cypress based USB > Serial adapter with a Garmin GPS 12.
read the Documentation for your kernel in /usr/src/Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt
gpsd, kismet & gpsdrive all work great!
Nope, no modules necessary. It spits out RS-232, I plug it straight into one of my car PC's serial ports.
