Does anyone know how to make this unit work correctly under Linux?
It is identified as a "hid" device and appears to be assigned to "hiddev0".  However, 
when I run "gpsd -p /dev/usb/hiddev0" (GPS software to talk to the device) and test it 
I get 0.00000 coordinates for anything I ask for.  I'm certain that hiddev0 is being 
used for the device because when I unplug it and run gpsd the tests fail outright 
causing gpsd to exit.

Does the fact that this device is using the hid module make the "serial" access 
attempts fail?  Is there some way to use another driver for this device or is it 
simply being claimed by hid and that's that?

Here is the log for this (dmesg- Stripped of other messages):

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x1163/0x100) is not claimed by any active driver.
   <SNIP>
usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
usb.c: registered new driver hid
hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Device [DeLorme Publishing DeLorme USB Earthmate] on usb2:2.0
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers


This is on SuSE 9.0 pro.

thanks in advance!
Matt
