Hi, Geoclue master provider uses gconf key to set the gps device for Gypsy. Below is one of the example which sets the path to bluetooth device.
gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/geoclue/master/org.freedesktop.Geoclue.GPSDevice 00:02:76:C5:81:BF AFAIK, gypsy has support for Serial gps devices and Bluetooth gps. Hence, I was wondering how gypsy will be talking to AGPS, SUPL for different set of Meego devices ?
