GPS - how to get lat lon and time from a bash script file ?

[Ed Kapitein]

Hi Kimaidou,

I put some script on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User_talk:Kapiteined
and start and stop gps in those scripts.
And also clean the gps logs from data without a valid lat/long (thus
without having a fix).

Please feel free to browse trough the scripts and use whatever you like
about it.

Kind regards,
Ed
