Koen Kooi is porting something called GPS Drive. There have been no updates though. Check it out here:

Great, will try to take contact to him, and maybe push him to post some more.

I'd love to see a GPS Drive release - I am currently automating the slicing up some UK maps into 1280x1024 and creation of the config files.
I also read that the TomTom Go devices are ARM based and run Linux, so if it becomes worthwhile I expect they will release a 770 compatible version.

It just keeps getting better and better! I'l have to try it soon! If I have any problems getting it to work, I will ask!
I am not used to using Linux.
If any one has more information, please post. How about the GPS module, what du you use? Does the Nokia GPS work, does someone know?

The brand-name receivers appear to be very expensive for no particular reason, I am planning to get one from the Hong Kong sellers on ebay - the "Rikaline" model looks good, very good acquisition times.

Okay, I'll try with the Nokia GPS and the GPS Drive. I'll for sure also ask stupid questions.

I haven't got my 770 yet. 
So I haven't tried it yet. Did any one else try in the mean time?

Any hope of this working with a wired GPS? Mine has serial only, but a serial->USB adapter then connecting it to the 770 would be worthwhile if it'd work.

I haven't got a BT GPS receiver yet, I will order one tomorrow because I am nearly finished figuring out how to automagically extract my maps into a series of tiles that GPS Drive can use.
