<font face="arial" size="2"><DIV>Vic, I'm in the exactly the same position as you. I use Fugawi on an XP laptop, and was hoping for something similar on the eeePC</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 on the eeePC. I load gpsd with the following command:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(Note the sudo)<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Try xgps to confirm that the GPS data are being processed. I tried a Garmin GPS-18 and a GlobalSat WAAS GPS. Both are USB, and both play ok without anything addtional being done, even though their output protocols are different.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Xastir and GPSDrive both work fine. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now if I can just get marine charts set up...</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please clarify: are you saying that you are able to make to make your Garmin unit recognized by the eeePC ? If yes, what are you seeing on the eeePC ? Have you succeeded with install of GPSD software on eeePC ? If yes, how did you do that ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's a lot of questions but it has been a frustrating exercise so far when I compare it with loading/using my Fugawi navigation on other XP laptop.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Me too. I think there are a several eeepc users who want to adapt charts for their boating, more coming as it becomes known. Presently I use a Garmin Etrex Mariner and would like a crossover program to use charts with real time tracking.</DIV>
