I've not yet figured out how to use the S720/U720 as a GPS tracker in Linux.
It's going to require some reverse-engineering of what's done in Windows... some command of some sort is sent by the Connection Manager software in Windows that enables the GPS tracker on a COM port. I've not had time to track stuff myself.
Let me know if you get anywhere!
