[ gpsdrive ] Getting Gpsdrive working with Fedora 8...

[Michael Schumacher]

Greeting everyone,

After doing a fresh install of Fedora 8, I'm now trying to get GpsDrive 
working.  I managed to find an old version of this same question, yet 
not able to get it working.  I have the Earthmate Yellow USB puck...

Of this link, I tried to locate where GpsDrive was installed, but either 
I can't find it and rename the gpsd that is there.  I also did a search 
for gpsd and only find one.  I installed gps-clients - took the script 
from the other site and did the steps needed for it.  I've rebooted the 
computer and have tried setting the prefs to /dev/ttyUSB0, checked and 
unchecked the Earthmate checkbox and doesn't work.

When GpsDrive isn't running and unpluggin/plugging in the Earthmate, 
doing a cat /dev/ttyUSB0 shows that it's showing the data that should be 
there, but when I start up GpsDrive, it starts showing garble...don't 
know if it should or not.

Was hoping to get it going tonight for the trip this weekend, but oh 
well...not a biggie.

Thanks, Michael
