The unit seems rather old, have you seen this link?

It suggests that you need some Garmin software
The device looks like any NMEA GPS receiver though.
If it has no USB interface you'll need a USB to serial adapter to connect to OP.
if it has USB it should show up in OP as device USBx or AMAx. (x= 0 or 1)
You may want to read up on how to set up serial ports in OP/Linux
The manual does explain this in more detail.
Once the port is recognized by OP is a matter of determining the speed by trial and error ( 4800/9600/19200/38400 ) till you receive $GPS messages.
If this all sounds totally unfamiliar, you are up for a steep learning curve
Kind Regards, Harry
