I can get my Garmin 350 to stream data by holding the icon in the upper left for a few seconds and connecting USB

cat /dev/usbmon0 shows a stream of data like this:
USBS(���S-lJ$����USBC(���C->lJ����S�-<lJ�����

If I could convert that data into readable text I would know is location data is in the stream

gpsd /dev/usbmon0

and telnet localhost 2947 connects but gets no response to "r"

My kismet.conf includes

gps=true
gpstype=serial
gpsdevice=/dev/usbmon0
gpsreconnect=true


#gps=false
# Host:port that GPSD is running on. This can be localhost OR remote!
gpshost=localhost:2947
# Do we lock the mode? This overrides coordinates of lock "0", which will
# generate some bad information until you get a GPS lock, but it will
# fix problems with GPS units with broken NMEA that report lock 0
#gpsmodelock=false

I tried to comment the gpshost line but kismet will not run that way.

If kismet were to decode the Garmin output and keep the last set of location data, that data could be associated with a kismet event.

Is there anyway to arrange this?
