My question (and I have searched, and read this entire thread) is:

How do I connect to the built-in gps receiver in my N810?

In settings, when I 'scan' for a gps receiver, it looks for a BT device and finds nothing. I even started the wayfinder app to get a gps signal, but don't seem to be able to make the connection. I am sure it is something fairly simple...thanks in advance!

I can't guarantee Maemo Mapper will work with the N810 at all (much less the internal GPS) until I actually have an N810, and thanks to the U.S. release delays, that may not be until next month.

Until then, with a little work, you can probably get Maemo Mapper to work with the internal GPS if you use GPSD. Set your GPSD hostname in Maemo Mapper to "localhost" (default port, 2947), then start GPSD and attach GPSD to the internal device. That last step is vague, but I have no idea how GPSD works on the N810, so you'll have to figure that out yourself, or get help from someone more familiar with the internal GPS receiver.

Good luck. And please share your findings (success or failure) on the board. Thanks.
