What GPS receiver are you using?   I have a Delorme -20 that I have never been able to get working.  The only reason I keep a Win partition on my laptop.

Mine is DU-355 by globalsat. Was working fine, but 2 days ago stopped working. The LED will not even come on.
When I plug it in winxp, I hear the ding, but the light will not come on and all my mapping software do not show this gps.
I guess, is time for new one.

Well, the gps is working, but not in OpenCPN. The OpenCPN(old version) do not have Garmin option. Tested with other software (xgps) and did worked fine. I will have to wait, until never version will be available trough Synaptic.
