>Description:

The Pharos 360 GPS is a SiRF-II chipset USB GPS that outputs NMEA
data and should work with NTP or any NMEA-aware GPS program. GPSD
rates support for this device as "good".

It uses a Prolific PL2303 USB->serial cable.

Microsoft bundles an OEM version with some editions of Streets and
Trips, but they use a unique ID for the PL2303, thus it is not
recognised by the uplcom driver.

Without this patch, the device winds up attached to ugenX instead
of ucomX.

NetBSD had PR #293371 for this in Oct 2004.

>How-To-Repeat:

Plug a Pharos 360 OEM GPS (as shipped by Microsoft with
Streets and Trips) into a USB port.

Observe how the PL2303 USB->serial adapter isn't recognised because
it has a unique ID, and thus gets attached as ugenX.

>Fix:

The following is trivially altered from the BSD patch in the PR,
man page addition is new:
