Depending on your release you'll have to use /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of usb:.

gpsd
Using gpsd with Ubuntu:
sudo modprobe garmin_gps sudo mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb gpsd -nND2 /dev/ttyUSB0 xgps
autorun.inf
If you want to display an icon when you plugin your device just copy an icon (48x48 px.) e.g. nuvi_drive.ico in folder /Garmin on your microSD™ and create a file named autorun.inf with the following content in it's rootdirectory:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\nuvi_drive.ico action=Garmin eTrex Legend HCx label=Garmin eTrex Legend HCx
