Tanogps uses gpsd, so this could not be the problem.
But now i tried by accident (opkg update downgraded navit r2797 to shr-u
version r2735) the navit version in the shr repository (r2735) and this
version works and connects to the gps without problems. I also can see
my correct position on the map. So it seems that the precompiled
binaries from the navit homepage for the openmoko are not compatible
with current shr-u. Tomorrow i will try to contact someone from the
navit projects and say this so maybe we can find out where the problem
lies. Because i like to have the newest one and not the one from the
shr-u repository. :)
