[OSM-talk] Garmin Legend HCx and Linux

[Gervase Markham]

I asked for a Garmin Legend HCx for Christmas, on the recommendation of
various people in this group, and am now trying to connect it to my
Linux computer to do some real-time mapping. Has anyone got this device
working with gpsd? A bit of Googling and other work doesn't turn up
anything - some say to use the garmin_gps kernel module, others say it's
unreliable (and, in fact, it is blacklisted in my Ubuntu 8.10).

Has anyone managed this?
