I took the plunge and got the Delorme Earthmate USB GPS.
The 6000 recognize it right away as "Delorme USB Earthmate". dmesg says something about USB HID v1.00 Pointer [Delorme Publishing Delorme Earthmate] on usb 1.27.0 Now what do I do? I installed qpegps but the defualt path is -p /dev/ttyS0 -s -4800 Is that for connection through serial cale? What should I change it to? One good thing about the setup is that the Z can power the GPS all by itself. The bad is that if qpegps is run in 640x480 mode, it looks skewed. Please help me set this up. Thanks FW |

It's just occured to me that libusb may well be different for different kernel versions - I'm set to build for 2.6.11 so you may want to ask hrw in the upgrades thread if he'll build libusb for 2.4.18.
Also, even if the above isn't true, note that the ipk I've given you will require an arch of armv5te (iirc) - this will probably have to be added to /etc/ipkg/arch.conf - use a lowish number (I think high numbers are given preference), or just add it temporarily and remove it once it's installed.
