GPS device in N9 and raw NMEA data
 

Hi
How can I see raw NMEA data in MeeGo Harmattan?
It is: Integrated Monolithic GPS Receiver BCM4751
Character device: /dev/bcm4751-gps
Serial port: ??? (chow to check it?)
There is something in Qt Mobility/Location but can it print NMEA data?

up.
it's interesting for me now.
any way to create/obtain gps serial port on N9?
or i should create own virtual port?

The GPS does not output NMEA data, but rather MEIF, a Nokia propietary protocol.

You can create NMEA data out of the Qt Mobility location information, though. It's trivial to write. There are several applications on the store (I suppose) which do this in order to emulate a "Bluetooth GPS" device.

I have written such a program at least three different times :) (e.g. http://javispedro.com/blog/2012/03/s...-the-same.html ). Data from Qt Mobility is not very filtered, as you can see on the figure (N9 is green line), so it is actually somewhat useful.

actually i don't need bluetooth gps device, but sharing nmea port by wifi network to make PC apps use GPS data. (i have no bluetooth =D )
will search for fake nmea port making.

any links will be helpful for me.

Did you locate any info ?
Trying to get gpsd working, but need some info on how to read raw gps data from N9

Re: GPS device in N9 and raw NMEA data
 

What you mean by saying "raw gps data"? NMEA != raw. Probably there is possibility to create pseudo NMEA data from latitude+longitude+altitude+time structure and pass it to fake device/pipe/sth and feeding gpsd from it.
There is tool gpsfake. It can read NMEA from file, and cheat gpsd that it's real device.

thanks, i will look at fakegps and see how it works.
What i need to know, is there a device that can be read in /dev/xxx something where we can read gps data. And how :)

For Fremantle, there is the Columbus navigation toolkit, that can stream NMEA data & even work as a Bluetooth or USB serial GPS. :) As N900 also does not provide NMEA data by default, it might work with a few modifications on the N9. :)
