Hello Julien,
I had a problem similar to yours with a BGT-31 : when let it going in
'navilink' mode (to download traces on a computer), I had problems
contacting it (it worked from time to time).
I finally discovered that I had installed the gpsd package, and when
plugging my GPS, udev not only loaded the pl2003 module, but also
launched 'gpsd' service, which locked access to the device !
Perhaps you have the same problem ? I had to kill gpsd before using
navilink tool.
Hope it helps,
Fred.
