Hi,

I just got my own N810 Tablet and it seems like I'm already having my first questions.
I going to start a School project with a friend of mine for what we want to use the N810 as a bicycle computer in combination with my bikes dynamo and the Nokias GPS chip to do some tracking and analyzing in OpenStreetMap. I'm really looking forward to do that as school project .
I already borrowed a N810 from a friend to try some GPS tracking by doing cat /dev/pts/0. It worked fine but I always had to start the Map application before I was able to get GPS coordinates. My N810 is running DIablo now and I don't have any idea how to get the usual GPGGA, etc. Strings. It doesn't even work if I start the Map application and read the /dev/pts/0 data afterwards.
Is there a good tutorial how and in which order I have to start gpsd, gpsdriver and what ever is necessary to read the data from a pseudo file like I was able to do it with /dev/pts/0.
I'm planing to do the whole thing in Java by using Jalimo so the existing gps C api is properly not the right thing for me.
