Several mainstream GPS systems run on Linux, such as the Garmi nüvi 7×5 or 8×0 series, or all the TomTom AIOs, but connecting an external GPS receiver on a Linux powered laptop or desktop computer requires some work. This is where forum member fep1343 comes in with his detailed guides to connect a Garmin GPS receiver under Ubuntu Linux and to compile maps with the Sendmap20 application. Enjoy his guides linked above and be sure to leave a note if they’ve helped you.
