fyi, I was having this problem with my BU-353 USB-puck GPS a little while ago. The gpsd "cgps" program put it into SiRF binary mode without me asking, and that creates (AFAICT) pseudo-NMEA strings when a client asks for raw mode.
this was with gpsdrive built from SVN (Oct 2008?) and I believe gpsd 2.36-2~bpo40+1 for debian etch from backports.org. The "solution" was to reset the GPS to output in NMEA not binary SiRF protocol using scripts/gpsd_nmea.sh from the gpsdrive source code. which is just: echo "Switching the GPS connected to the local Gpsd into NMEA Mode ..." (echo "N=0"; sleep 1 ) | telnet localhost 2947 no idea if it helps with the Garmin, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
