finding your way home with satnav linux?
 
Hello all,

Santa very kindly bought me a Sony NAV-U NV-U92T Satnav system and I would like to be able to update it and so forth using my Ubuntu laptop.

My computer seems to recognize it as a pda here is the dmesg output:

Code:

Any ideas on what I could do next?

Thanks, trscookie.

Well, it will look like a serial port at /dev/ttyUSB0. It probably speaks standard GPS. Try connecting to it at 4800 baud with minicom and see if it spits out strings that start with "$GPS".
