Hi,
I recently received a Magellan Triton 300 GPS unit. This is a handheld
GPS unit which supports a USB connection to a PC. It reports itself as
vendor 120f and product 5260. Is there any support, experimental or
otherwise, for this unit? If not, is it likely to be difficult to add?
On the unit side, when I plug it in to a USB port, it offers me four
options for connecting: "Connect to PC", "Power only", "NMEA - USB",
and "NMEA - Serial". "Power only" appears to be just what it says,
"NMEA - Serial" looks like it's sending serial-port data down the USB
cable, and "Connect to PC" causes the unit to hang waiting for some
kind of response, so I assume that "NMEA - USB" is the mode to use.
However, this mode (or any other) does not appear to trigger the
loading of any driver. When I try to modprobe usbserial vendor=120f
product=5260, nothing appears to happen differently (that is, no extra
messages appear in dmesg when I plug the device in, and no
/dev/ttyUSB0 appears).
When I plug it in in this mode, dmesg reports:
[44892.672045] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 58
[44892.855727] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

I am using Ubuntu Intrepid:
Linux octopus 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008
i686 GNU/Linux
Is there any likelihood that this can be made to work by slightly
modifying an existing driver?
Thanks,
Anne
