OK.
bt GPS is not connected.
get gps connected
[admin@oo root]$ hcitool connect 00:15:4B:01:2E:BD

gpsd and gpspipe - no NMEA sentences, why ?
Hi,
I can read NMEA sentences from Bluetooth GPS device
cat reading binded rfcomm0 device.
I wanted the same with gpsd.
gpsd /dev/rfcomm0
than
gpspipe
and no NMEA entences,
why ?
From previous thread I have learned, gpsd worked with usb-serial Prolific device.
Any chance to have gpsd to work with rfcomm .
If so, how to set up gpsd.
I would prefer gpsd as it comes with some parameters to read long, lat, time, speed.
Darius
gpsd and gpspipe work fine, showing up NMEA sentences
follow -up
finally got gpsd and gpspipe working
showing up
NMEA sentences in 2 opened terminal sessions respectively.

Best approach for sharing GPS over Ethernet
Hi folks, first post!
I'm looking for the fastest and safest approach to incorporating a GPS receiver into an Asus router. I simply want it to be available over the wired network and it seems that using a standard USB GPS receiver and installing gpsd on the router is the best way to do this.
I'm comfortable with Linux and custom electronics, but was really hoping I could avoid some risk by consulting those that had come before me. Has anyone gone down this route and would be willing to share details?
