Hallo everybody I am trying to get the gps working with QGIS.
I am using bluetooth gps, one android phone with extGPS and one Holux GPSlim 236 It is working (after some difficulties with file permissions) to connect directly to the serial port /dev/rfcomm0. I can also start gpsd and use it through FoxtrotGPS or see the result through gpsmon localhost:2947 But I have not succeeded to get the gpsd service as input to QGIS. I have not seen any documetation and the gpsd support in QGIS is mentioned very rarely on the net. I have tried two different Ubuntu installations with QGIS master from nightly repositories and locally compiled on the other. And also one debian with locally compiled trunk. I also have another strange problem. As I said I can connect from QGIS directly to the serial port, but on the version from the nightly repository the long lat position seems fixed. The altitude is changing as expected every second, but the long lat is a few hundred meters wrong and totally fixed. I cannot understand where that wrong position can be stored. I have restarted the computer used different gps. But on the debian box it works as expected and the gps-cursor is traveling around a small area as expected.
