Hi there.
is it possible to compile and run gps drive??it's a linux gps positioning system
http://www.gpsdrive.cc
i think it might be possible but am i able to hook up a gps usb receiver ?
any1 got an idea??
GPS Dongle
simple answer: yes , gentoox has excellent usb support and pretty much all usb devices work natively in linux without the need for a 3rd party drive , gps devices are just dummy serial devices that relay info to whatever process is looking for it at that time so I don't see any problems with it working out of the box...
not simple answer: depends , all companies make their krap different , you never can be 100% sure if something will work untill you plug it in and watch what syslog spits at you..
