Package: gpsd
Version: 2.13-1
Severity: normal

I use a Garmin eTrex Venture (firmware 2.70, serial data format set to:
NEMA In/NEMA Out, 4800 baud fixed) with gpsd.

After connecting the GPS to to the serial port I start gpsd as follows:

  gpsd -p /dev/ttyS0 -T n -n -D2

Out of 40 consecutive connection attempts, 14 failed with gpsd not catching
the connection at 4800baud. gpsd then tries the other baud rates until it
terminates. I had up to three connection attempts fail in a row.

When the connection is up and running, gpsd reports unknown data. I doesn't
seem to affect xgps, which displays all it should. The following is one of
the repeating blocks that gpsd outputs to the command line when running
in above debug mode:
