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 |

Bump.
I did some Googling in an attempt to figure out this problem, and I ran across these links: http://trans.civil.northwestern.edu/~jay/gpsd.html http://geocities.com/i0xox0i/ I would appreciate if someone with more knowledge of the Zaurus kernel please read through these pages. It seems to me that there are two options; recompile gpsd for the Zaurus as stated in the first link; or patch the kernel as detailed in the second link. I don't have a compile environment set up for the Zaurus yet, as I've only recently gotten the Zaurus. GPS in the car is a killer app for me. All you gurus out there, please help!
