You do not need any garmin drivers, as long as the device is set to standard NEMA output, you can install picocom and see the stream.
#picocom -b4800 /dev/tts/0 If it's stuck in binary mode you want see any useful info. sirfmon is in gpsd utilities and will switch the device back to NMEA mode so you can see the stream, but sirfmon is not in the gpsd package for openwrt, you will need to interface with your pc to put it in NMEA mode.
