Hi Neil, hi Boudewijn,
thanks for the suggestions. I understand that there are probably more
usefull ways to get GPS info out of the Moko. Right now I'm trying it in
the context of creating a complete ROS integration, so that all the
phone's sensors will publish their information as ROS messages. This
will be useful for using the phone as a control unit on a robot, but
probably not for it's original intention as a phone ;)
I think the one could easily forward the port gpsd uses to run tangogps
on a remote PC. That's probably what you described, Boudewijn. Did the
GPRS connection prove reliable enough for this?

viewer: note that this is very similar to using the
OpenMoko as a GPS
receiver and exporting that information to another device

Bluetooth.
Apart from exporting over Bluetooth, will you have an IP connection between the
devices? I guess so, how else to receive *any* info in the viewer :-)
Anyway: using foxtrotgps for example, I enter the port for gpsd. I always
expected it to default to localhost if nothing else was supplied; I recall
using tangogps on a laptop configured to connect to IP:port of the Freerunner
that was traveling with family and connected via GPRS. That's a while ago
though and time and alcohol made the memory not too detailed ;-)
