Mephemeris is another cool app. Thank you for all your work.

I'm having mostly bad luck getting information from my shiny new bluetooth GPS. FWIW Maemo-mapper and MChronos both talk to it.

Pushing "Reset Location" has worked exactly once, out of dozens of attempts. It briefly turned green, I got the GPS Location icon in the status bar, and the lat and long numbers changed from the default values.

Usually what happens is a screen message "GPS location/time not used -- using internal settings instead". In the terminal window I get:

"GPS SEARCHING...PLEASE WAIT
On Maemo so trying bluetooth GPS...
Problem while connecting!
not found gps position= <default values>"

I'm so trying to understand why this is happening, when other applications work and play well with the bluetooth GPS.

The relevant section of the .ini file is:

gps mode= gpsbt
gps timeout= 15
gpsd host= 127.0.0.1
gpsd port= 2947

I was sure the default IP wouldn't work, so I changed it. I suspect the localhost IP would be a better default. (Perhaps you would also consider moving this file to the user directory with the proper ownership, as I suggested for MChronos.)

This is a nifty program; it would be niftier if it would update from the GPS.
