I   should mention that I   tested the above gps  on  fedora  18
and although there were issues with   locking on satellites
it did  pass data.   On fedora 18 though I had to start  gpsd manually
for some reason, possibly  an issue with udev  rules.

At this point I have moved on to fedora 19.   I saw the error msg
in /var/log/messages  after which the gps stop sending data.

Caveat:   Fedora 19  is alpha software and there are a variety of
errors at this point but I will continue testing until  f19 is released.

I also have a garmin montana which works on fedora 18  have not
tested it on  f19 but will get to it  shortly.
