Default Can someone support the USB GPS

Though Iconia has gps inside, but I don't think it can receive the satellites faster than the usb gps. I've got one for my laptop and works fine. But the notebook is too heavy, so can someone to let the pad support the usb gps?

Specifiction:
Model Nr:BU-353
development information:http://www.usglobalsat.com/forum/ind...3&topic=3408.0

important is: can you find regular linux support for it? then we can probably use it here too. otherwise not, so if you search and find references to it..
post it, and i can look at your links for linux support if such exists..

Does anybody run the code:
Code:
su root
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat < /dev/ttyUSB0
I ran it and it works like gps status in windows. GPS can get the data but how to let the system to know these data.
