OpenMarine

Hello all,

I've got a Garmin GPS18x USB. On a previous install of OpenCPN it was working flawlessly. Since starting up a new card/install of OpenPlotter I cannot get OpenCPN to get GPS.

I've done quite a bit of googling and searching CF and so far have not found a solution. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here's what the pi knows about the Garmin:


[pi@openplotter:~]
$ dmesg | grep garmin
[    8.294337] usbcore: registered new interface driver garmin_gps
[    8.294556] garmin_gps 1-1.3:1.0: Garmin GPS usb/tty converter detected

I've gotten this to work by issuing:
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients libgps-dev

I added the Garmin GPS18x USB as connected directly through network:
Options→ Connections→ Add Connection and select “Network” plus the GPSD radio button. Address should be “localhost” and DataPorts should be set to 2947.
