I downloaded minigpsd_0.31h_armel.deb from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ee/m/minigpsd/ to the N900, then as root: dpkg -i minigpsd_0.31h_armel.deb

It complains about bluez-utils-test and python2.5-gnome not installed, "leaving unconfigured".

Ignoring that, I learned the binaries are nevertheless there: minigpsd, miniobd2d and miniv1d

I have yet to try whether it works with gps and my OBD device.
