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?
