Hello all,
I am a MAEMO newbie and want to create an application that can extract GPS position from the N810 onto a laptop. Is this possible within the realms of resonable complexity and development time ?
Thanks for all your help.

Look into minigpsd. I don't know if it can do the job itself at this point, but I recall minigpd's author once stating that he wrote a program that allowed the N810's internal GPS to be used via Bluetooth by other devices and that the code was lurking about in minigpsd's source.

I haven't used minigpsd, and it may be the right answer for what you're trying to do.

You can also consider the python code I put on this page which prints out GPS data from the n810:

I think you can get started on your NIT by installing python 2.5 from the repos and putting liblocation.py and gpsexample.py in a directory on your tablet. Then just run:
python gpsexample.py
And you should see some GPS data pretty soon.

minigpsd claims to do exactly what you want to do.

I don't doubt it, as I did it with gpsd
