Hey there, I am having trouble connecting to my Garmin GPS unit, an eTrex Venture HC. I gather from all the resources I've checked that it my system is finding the GPS just fine, but I am unable to communicate with the device. Using gpsbabel, I get the following error:
as myself:
Claim interfaced failed: could not claim interface 0: Operation not permitted
as root:
Claim interfaced failed: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy
I noticed that the gpsd service was disabled, so I enabled it, but that didn't seem to change anything.
Any comments/clues? Appreciate your time.
(using Fedora 14)
