Successfully installed minigpsd, and manage to start it (as verified by ps), but for some reason neither the map app or maemo mapper finds the gps daemon. As soon as I stop minigpsd, and restart map or maemo mapper (starting the original gpsd), they work OK.
If you exit all mapping applications, and/or uncheck enable gps in the nokia map application it should shut down. You can also do "killall gpsd" until it says "no process killed".
Start minigpsd, wait a bit for it to lock, then do enable gps in map.
Thanks, that did it - but starting map does cause a zombie gpsd process to hang around. And maemo mapper seems to need the map application to be running in order to find the gps.
pre-release candidate. Configuration changed (including gconf entries). New bluetooth scan/set screen (it will pause while scanning - I'm working on that). But it should be much easier to configure.
TODO - fix missing icon on first start, add gpsgate interval, some cleanup including inital gconf. Documentation (e.g. the BT scan will use existing config and then scan and let you set both obd and gps devices, obd is in advanced).
Meanwhile the touchscreen on my n810 is completely uncalibratable which is slowing things. I have a wimax edition coming and have been using my n800, but it has gotten slower.
