| Andrew,
Check out Tapio Tolvanen's GPSDrive 770 port, which I believe contains a port/packaging of gpsd:
You might also want to look up Maemo Mapper which is pretty wicked on the 770.
Another killer library for S60 would be a Python module wrapping the C++ location API, which includes access to BT GPSes.

That and the fact that at least my 6600 can only have 1 BT connection at a time (so when i get into my car I have to kill that connection before connecting to my Bluelogger).
Has anyone written something similar to nmea_info for the Nokia770 running Python? The N770 does have gpsd support.

a few others have.
Nick Burch has written several GPS apps in Python. The most polished
is nmea_info (http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/104793.html) and
contains some nice routines for wrangling NMEA data.
Christopher Schmidt has also done a lot with Python for S60 and
locative technology (http://crschmidt.net/symbian/ ). His
stumblestore app (http://gsmloc.org/code/stumblestore.py) feeds data
to his GSM location site (http://gsmloc.org/).
There are also a lot of PyS60 code snippets (http://bigbold.com/
snippets/tag/pys60) and a collection of links and info on my wiki
( http://www.postneo.com/postwiki/moin.cgi/PythonForSeries60) to get
you started with PyS60.
Cheers,
