No, it isn't. SA just speaks to it natively using the USB HID device driver. Also, other than the Delorme provided USB->Serial driver, do you know of ANY other driver that will do this mapping for a Delorme GPS, other GPS, other USB device at all? Ultimately this probably depends on how the device interfaces with it's onboard USB controller. In the GPS case, most devices produce a native NMEA serial stream (and a proprietary binary one). If that's the case with the Motorola phone, then it probably does just use a simple FTDI interface converter and then the generic driver might actually work.
