GPSD is going to become the de facto standard with OS 2008, anyway, so you might as well start using it now.
succesfully running mm on an n800 with 2008 os, and though there hasn't been a problem here with 'hanging', tried to change gpsd host to "localhost" as you suggest (seems like a good idea) but received an error message. restarting mm did not result in a connection to ld-3w. is there another step needed, perhaps the port should be something other than 2947?

thank you for your help as always
