Hi,

I am looking into buying a GPS receiver for use with my notebook for
mapping, routing and other (*cough* kismet *cough*) applications.
I have all serial, usb and bluetooth connectors, but I am looking a
bit harder in the bluetooth direction.
In particular, I would like to know:
- What hardware will work?
- What software is there for mapping/routing?
- Are there any bluetooth gps receiver working?
I have found the
Holux gr230
Emtac
Fortuna Clip on gps
quite interesting, do they work with linux?

Timo

Linux works with the gpsd demon which expects a serial port of sorts. So eventually it doesn't matter if that's BT or native serial. It is abstracted before gpsd knows about it.

I know of one nice GPS program for the iPAQ (Familiar/Opie or similiar distributions) but can't comment on X86 - no experience there.
