Did you get the gps in MM to work without opening Maps first? I'm a bit shaky as to how to proceed from here, and would be grateful for any assistance that you could offer. Thanks.

I tried enable /dev/pgps but I get a message that enable isn't found
( also tried from /sbin in case it was like ifconfig )
Could someone tell me how to enable the built in gps from command line?
It shuts off after I close wayfinder, and isn't being found by mapper.
thanks!!!

I'm guessing if it can't be made to work properly with /dev/pgps it can be configured to startup gpsd without needing to have Maps running.

If it helps here's what I get on the 810 with wayfinder started:
ps | grep gpsd
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
1494 user 15024 SW /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper
1499 user 2776 SW /usr/sbin/gpsd -n -N -F /tmp/.gpsd_ctrl_sock /dev/pgp
1501 user 1888 RW grep gpsd
once I close wayfinder, and run again I get
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
1505 user 1888 RW grep gpsd
If I start mapper ( with filepath /dev/pgps option, and trying to enable gps ) I get only:
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
ps | grep gpsd
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
1494 user 15024 SW /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper
1499 user 2776 SW /usr/sbin/gpsd -n -N -F /tmp/.gpsd_ctrl_sock /dev/pgp
1501 user 1888 RW grep gpsd
once I close wayfinder, and run again I get
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
1505 user 1888 RW grep gpsd
If I start mapper ( with filepath /dev/pgps option, and trying to enable gps ) I get only:
1102 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver

If the gps could be configured when MM started, that sounds like it would be an ideal solution. I hate to feel like such a 'taker', but I have no expertise in programming or coding. At this point, I'm limited to providing feedback and 'attaboy's' to developers in the maemo community. Sort of frustrating...anyhow, this will be great when we get it worked out.

I wouldn't worry tfinnan. It certainly doesn't appear to be anything insurmountable. I'm sure gnuite will be able to sort it all out once he gets his N810.

The latter is not a bug if multiple redraws get cued up. I tested Maemo Mapper with a fake GPSD server that was spitting out about 10 position updates per second, and I managed to get up to 7 hourglasses at once. It was awesome.
It's a good thing 10Hz GPS receivers don't exist yet...

I got it to run on the N810 by using running Wayfinder first and using the gpsd server option.
Without wayfinder running the apps running after the grep are
/usr/sbin/gpsdriver
and with Wayfinder running
/usr/sbin/gpsdriver
/usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper
/usr/sbin/gpsd -n -N -F /tmp/.gpsd_ctrl_sock /dev/pgp
If it doesn't work, then I need to scrounge around for documentation on how third party software is supposed to use the internal device. I don't understand why libgpsmgr isn't working. And I don't understand why there is absolutely no documentation on how to use the internal GPS receiver. (Well, I have a theory, but it's not very nice.)

I did the following:
/etc/init.d/gpsdriver start
then
gpsd -n -N -D5 -F /tmp/gps.sock
the term shows it running, and a client connect on 6 when I start mapper, next it says channel assignment failed going to raw mode,
I've tried configuring mapper with /dev/pgps and with gpsd local host server
with /dev/pgps it keeps asking to retry,
with gpsd it keeps searching until you stop it
( this is inside an office building, with no signal )
I'm going to try again when I'm home near a window and see if anything changes.
gpsd does see me close mapper, as it quits when I exit.
I'll of course post what I find.
I ran the command that you suggested in xterm and got the following...
1101 root 2132 SW /usr/sbin/gpsdriver
5667 user 1892 SW grep gpsd
When I try to connect, the window in MM still tells me that there is an 'error opening gps device', and prompts for a retry. Suggestions?
