OK, I think I see the problem.  Your GPS has the same USB Vendor/product
ID as a Garmin USB Binary devive, but is using the Garmin Serial Binary
protocol.  Very dumb move on their part as the protocols differ, but
I have no way to tell which one to use.  

I am constantly surprised at how Garmin continues to do dumb things.

My first suggestion would be to put the GPS in a sane NMEA mode and then
try that.  Problem is the kernel will probably try to still jam Garmin
USB binary down the GPS's throat.

If that does not work, then remove the garmin module and try again.

Can you send me the output of:
        lsusb
