not sure where things have gone screwy fr you, but I've had several Magellan's plugged - old 315, 2 different meridians and a sportrak all worked fine - check that nmea is turned on maybe?
also used several garmins, 180, 230 175 555 - again need to tell the garmin to stop talking garmin nonsense and talk NMEA
a cobra mc600, and a lowrance LMS 480
also used several cheapo usb things from ebay, and have also had a couple of prehistoric gps units (whos name escapes me) and all worked as expected
its been quite a neat tool to test cabling on gps's for people, and, in fact I've yet to plug any in that didn't work!
only thing I've ever had to do is go intot he gps and check nmea is turned on what the baud rate is
