Hi,
thanks for your response, I tried different things until now, and got it to work with minigpsd. A really great app! Here the Result:





I can start minigpsd with the command "minigpsd" from the terminal. But only as user, not as root - then I get the message "DON`t run as Root!"

But unfortunately I want minigpsd to be started out of another script, that needs root-rights. I now tried "sudo -u user minigpsd" but then just nothing happens. It seems "sudo -u" doesn`t work on the N810. "sudo -u user whoami" for example doesn`t work, too, like every other command also.

So is there a possibility to get minigpsd started as root?
