cat /dev/ttySAC1 show nothing. Yes, it seems gps is not powered up if
I start tangoGPS. If I do "echo 1 >
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.7/regulator/regulator.7/gta02-pm-gps.0-RF_3V/power_on"
then  "cat /dev/ttySAC1" shows:
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPVTG,,,,,,,,,N*30
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,99.99,,,,,,*48
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,99.99,99.99,99.99*30
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79
$GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64
$GPZDA,,,,,00,00*48
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53

etc.

I'll try if it works with tangoGPS if I go outside.

But why it doesn't power up automatically?
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/TangoGPS says "echo 1
>/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron"
should power up the gps, but for me it is
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.7/regulator/regulator.7/gta02-pm-gps.0-RF_3V/power_on.
Could that be a problem?
