Here are my notes on getting the Garmin Geko 201 GPS handheld working with the OpenBSD gpsd port.
On the Geko 201:
1) Page to and select "Setup" option.
2) Select "Interface" option.
3) Set "I/O Format" to "NMEA"
4) Set "Baud" to "4800"
I'm using a serial to USB converter (unknown type) that looks like:
uftdi0 at uhub4 port 1 "FTDI FT232R USB UART" rev 2.00/6.00 addr 2
ucom0 at uftdi0 portno 1
The associated device file for this ucom(4) is/dev/ttyU0 which I provide to gpsd:
dennis@ipa:~$ sudo gpsd /dev/ttyU0
dennis@ipa:~$
Then I test everything with the cgps (no command line options) client.
