I am not really sure what program is actually gpsd, there seem to be 5 on
sourceforge when searching gpsd, but all seem abandoned, none have any hardware
info as to supported devices. using the ubuntu repository returns nothing.
I will download what's there and see if I can get any to work. clearly the
DeLorme devices did not have message code compatibility with other units, and
there seems to be an issue with starting the device (command required) before it
will output anything, a somewhat unhappy circumstance from a testing viewpoint.
all the best,
walter

Have you tried gpsd? gpsd has supported several EarthMate versions.
BTW, the Ubuntu binary for gpsd is not so good, grab the source
from upstream.
