Royaltek GPS Mouse RGM-3600

I have and use a Garmin Nuvi 350 for car navigation. It's a wonderful tool. Garmin is not a wonderful company to deal with.

I spent a day and a half trying to use the Nuvi with Kismet - a Linux war driving application. I finally managed to stream data from the Nuvi to my PC but I never managed to get it working with the application itself.

Sanity returned and I ordered this device off the 'net and it showed up in my mail box three days later. Plugged it in my laptop and the device ttyUSB0 showed up.

One line change to the configuration of GPSD - a program which makes may GPS devices look the same to other programs - and I could talk to and receive data from the GPS Mouse.

A one line change to the configuration of Kismet - a Linux war driving application - and I was logging latitude, altitude, elevation, time and mac address of every access point I drove by.
