I do not know that application, but the garmin communication spec (available from the garmin web site) does not have any way to set the output mode. >From what I know, garmin USB devices do not support NMEA. They support either the garmin propitiatory protocol (and are garmin propitiatory USB devices, not serial devices), or are USB mass storage devices and use .gpx files. The Linux driver garmin_gps emulates a USB serial device so that legacy (serial) applications can connect to the garmin propitiatory USB device. -Geoff _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
