Comment(by lutra):

 > Ok, I see now the kind of possibilities that gpsd offers, but I still
 cannot make it work. I checked the gpsd docs and a few other tutorials so
 I'm sure I'm missing something (tested also with xgps). Can you give any
 insight? I'm sure this will be useful too for the future 1.6
 documentation.

 > Nevertheless I hope there will room to add the support for garmin usb
 devices as in the gps tools, it will be more straightforward for direct
 gps-to-qgis connections.

 thanks in advance.
