Did you look into using gpsd? it is usually smart enough to figure out how to talk to your GPS, and it presents a standard interface to programs like Roadnav. For serial devices, you do have to tell it about the interface you are using, but with USB GPS devices, it adds/removes them on the fly. It also has the advantage of letting use more then one GPS or share one GPS between programs. You may have to get the latest version for it to work seamlessly with udev.
