Obsolete may not be the right word, but the Openmoko Framework [1] is going to use Gypsy [2] for multiplexing GPS. Its dbus interface fits nicely within the framework, and it claims to have battery life advantages over gpsd. I don't suppose it would be too hard to add a Gypsy support to tangogps. 1 - http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenmokoFramework 2 - http://gypsy.freedesktop.org/wiki/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
