Garmin GPS on USB port



Hello group,

I try to communicate with my GPS via a USB port but without success. I used
to do it with a serial connection without problem. Eventually, I will have
to plug my GPS on a laptop with USB port only so I have to find a solution.
According to a few things read on the web I have to load the garmin_gps
module. I did it with succes but the documentation found said to use
/dev/ttyUSB? which device I don't have. Maybe I still have a few things to
understand about the USB devices and udev!

I would like to know if someone have been able to communicate with a Garmin
GPS via a USB port and how you did it. Or maybe someone with a good
understanding of USB and udev could help me understand what is going on and
what I should do to make it work.

Thanks for any help.
