I'm attempting to use my Garmin GPS/PDA in conjuction with KisMAC, and I've decided that using [url ="http://gpsd.berlios.de/"]gpsd[/url] would be the best option to make that happen. After compiling gpsd, I need to find out what /dev/tty* entry my device has. The docs indicate that it may well be named something similar to my device's model, however, the only remotely related entries I see are just for modem or Bluetooth. Specifically, my PDA is a Garmin iQue 3600, and it doesn't have any Mac software, other than Palm Desktop (or Missing Sync).

So, I'm unsure of how to create/enable/find my /dev entry for the serial (USB) connection to the device so I can point gpsd at it to obtain the current GPS data. Any ideas?
