I have now installed and configured:

   # opkg install gpsd
   # opkg install http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_0.9.3-r1_armv4t.ipk

   # vi /etc/default/gpsd
   GPS_DEV="/dev/ttySAC1"

   # /etc/init.d/gpsd stop
   # /etc/init.d/gpsd start

because 'Locations' always claims that in can't find the Fix for my
actual location;

TangoGPS starts fine, connects to the 'gpsd' and downloads the maps
through the USB interface from Internet; sometimes is just segfaults :-(

I can't see if TangoGPS knows where I am;
how can I prove this if GSM is really working?
