The Garmin USB GPS is a cruddy binary protocol and needs ACKs
to continue sending data. So the tail trick will not work.
The Garmin 16 and 17 are known to work. I don't know about the 18x.
Have you tried gpsd from the git repositiry?
The 18x was never really very good, and is now pretty old. There are
much better and cheaper USB GPS out there now.
