New Gypsy Release
Coding Legend Iain has just released Gypsy 0.6, the all-new GPS multiplexing daemon which focuses on being lean and easy to use, and not on, erm, putting your GPS on the Internet or something weird.
Because I'm fairly lame there are not matching Debian packages yet, but I'll get around to that tomorrow. In other news, a very nice man called Ian Lawrence wrote a buzzword-compliant tutorial where he uses Gypsy to talk to a Bluetooth GPS, tests it with my Gypsy Status 10-minute hack, and then uses Django to redirect the user to the relevant geohash.org page.

Many apps use gpsd and just recently maemo-mapper switched over to gpsd too. I have read the rant of Iain about gpsd but don't follow it. There is nothing weird in wanting to know about where a gps is - except for somebody with a quite limited horizon restricted on the 20 inches in front of his nose. DBUS is a desktop bus and as such not suitable to transmit NMEA data between devices. NMEA is not just gps. NMEA = National Marine Electronics Association. There are many places where it is quite handy to exchange raw data between devices. Last not least with more and cheaper mobile connectivity everywhere there will be many uses cases beyond the desktop.
Oh - and there are quite some people using their N810 via gpsd to show the data on the laptop because it has a bigger screen.
cheers
