Here are my results of pumping NMEA data from the FreeRunner to another GPS client and pumping NMEA data from another GPS device to the Freerunner.
FR -> GPSy (Mac OS X client) - could not get a fix on NMEA data Garmin 10 -> FR - tangoGPS worked flawlessly Apparently, agpsui reads directly from /dev/ttySAC1 even when gpsd is running. Couldn't get agpsui to "see" the Garmin 10 data. Also, GPSy worked flawlessly with Garmin 10 data. As near as I can tell, the two data streams are very different in terms of GPS data and information. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say what the difference is, except the FR data is much more terse/brief (shorter length of each line of data). What this experiment tells me is that data coming from the FR GPS chip either directly or via gpsd is does not contain enough information for a fix. What software exists between gpsd and/or /dev/ttySAC, if any, may be responsile or the GSP chip itself is not getting what it needs from the antenna.
