The GPS position be about Africa i point whith coordinates (1,1). I have waiting and i have`t right result. Can anybody help me?

to Demostenes and HardCoder: Guys can you take out some screenshots of normal worked maemo-mapper?
Well, I have the same GPS reciever that you have, and mine works great both with Maemo-mapper and GpsDrive. Maemo-mapper does however crash if i try to connect to the GPS before it got a fix. The solution is to wait until the GPS got a fix. (green light flashes on the GPS).

EDIT: I am of course using the fix from Demostenes, because of the atof/localization problem.

And here are some screenshoots.
