"1. Garmin spanner is not working anymore with gpsd (2.93/2.95) - it was 
fine with 4.00. Something must have been changed - but: gpsbabel can 
still read the current position"


Similar here. GPSD can't properly decode data sent in spanner mode. 
gpsbabel can read the position:
# gpsbabel -i garmin,get_posn -f usb:
Wed Jul 11 21:27:49 2012
 50.xxxN 14.xxxE Position/Position

I just wanted to explain the reason why I believe it's not HW problem. I 
also know that the only way to get some HW work in *nix is to reverse 
engineer windows drivers/communication (shame on manufacturers who won't 
provide proper description)
