So I picked this up today at Best Buy. It's a rebranded Pharos GPS-360 with a USB to Serial 'adapter' (it's a cable that goes between the puck and the computer and it emulates a serial port.)
Works on windows (duh) and I found supposed drivers for this for mac on the pharosgps.com site, but I have nothing in /dev like I'm supposed to.
From what I can tell by googling, this thing should show up as /dev/tty.iGPS or the like.
Any clues? System profiler shows it as:
Code:
USB-Serial Controller:
Vendor Name: Prolific Technology Inc.
Product ID: 43680 ($aaa0)
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Serial Number: 12345678
Bus Power (mA): 500
This is wrong, but I believe that's due to my own stupidity and installing the wrong driver while searching the net for usb gps mac drivers. It might also be right, but I can't tell, and I'm unsure of how to uninstall something that used installer.app.
So, anyone have a success story with this GPS?
