[Gpsbabel-misc] Help connecting to a Garmin GPS II Plus

[Jack F. <jcf...@me...>]

I'm trying to connect to a Garmin GPS II Plus but have been unable to 
get GPS Babel to connect to the GPS unit.

This is what I'm working with:

+ Garmin GPS II Plus (This has the 4 pin proprietary plug to a RS232 
plug. I have RS232 to USB cable connected to that.)
+ Linux Fedora 39
+ GPSBabel 1.9.0

I have read through the "Hotplug vs. Garmin USB on Linux" documentation. 
This documentation refers to the old Fedora Core naming convention up to 
Fedora Core 14.   How does Fedora 39 relate to these directions?

When I do a "sudo dmesg" I get this output when the GPS unit is plugged 
into the computer.

[  247.416794] usb 1-3: new full-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[  247.543901] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, 
idProduct=2303, bcdDevice= 4.00
[  247.543917] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, 
SerialNumber=0
[  247.543923] usb 1-3: Product: USB-Serial Controller D
[  247.543928] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
[  247.546847] pl2303 1-3:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[  247.547892] usb 1-3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

So I know that Linux is recognizing it.

What do I need to do to get this working?

Note: I had this GPS cable combination working once on a Windows 
computer that I no longer have.

Thanks.
