Setting the Vendor ID and Product ID don't seem to help if you don't have the right chipset/driver combination. It took a chance and tried several drivers from what I assumed would be similar chipsets from other vendors but nothing seems to make the tripmateUSB visibile to Kismac (or any other OS X GPS software that is expecting a serial GPS). I still remain hopeful that some GPS software will come out that looks at the Tripmate (and other USB GPS units) in a "native" way, rather than just trying for a serial connection. I suspect once one person figures this out and releases their source there will be others soon behind. And I also imagine that when USB is the dominant way of connecting a GPS rather than a novel way, we will have a bunch of software that can read my device.
