![]() ![]() This was the case for quite some time (since early 00’s), so back then people created a special kernel module named ‘garmin_usb’. This makes the USB packets look as though they came from a regular Garmin *serial* device, which is how most of the processing for both types can be unified here. The garmin_usb module's job is to grab the packet and frame it in DLEs (with DLE stuffing). You can't just ignore the zero reads and pass the data through - you'd never be able to tell where the packet boundaries are. The actual wire protocol from the Garmin device is very strange.Įnd of packet is signaled by a zero-length read on the USB device, and start of packet is the next read. Here is the problem (copypasta from gpsd source): Has anyone gotten NMEA-style string output over USB via virtual com ports working yet?Īfter several hours of grueling efforts, I managed to get the NMEA stream from my 66sr. I am also not able to find a virtual com port enumerating when I connect it to a linux box. However requires licensing for each port and appears to work only on Windows. There are also scattered forum suggests to use a 3rd party program/driver called GPSGate. My research has turned up a program called "Garmin Spanner" but that only supports Windows XP and appears over a decade old. Would you like to go to Mass Storage?" Neither choice (Yes/No) yields a virtual com port. When plugging in the USB I do see a prompt on the GPSMAP 66i "USB cable detected. ![]() When I connect the GPSMAP 66i to my PC (Windows 10, Fully Updated this week), I do not see any virtual com ports enumerating. Settings>System>Interface>"Garmin Spanner" which is described as "Allows you to use the device USB port with most NMEA 0183-compliant mapping programs by creating a virtual serial port." The manual specifically describes settings for this: This should be pretty basic functionality.
