[Xastir] Do the garmin GPS's work for Trackers?

[Curt Mills]

I'm no expert on all the models of Nuvi's.  I was using a Nuvi-350 in
the Jeep connected to a Tracker2 TNC and it worked fine.  However:  I
had to have the GPS in it's cradle to get power, then had to have a
separate data cable plugged into the side which gave me NMEA serial to
feed to/from the Tracker2.

Check whether the Nuvi has a serial data cable available for it, and
whether you have to power the Nuvi separately from that cable (I did
for mine) to make it all work.  If there's no serial data cable
available for that model, then you won't be able to hook it to Xastir
or a TNC.
