You assume right :)

This way "cat /dev/ttySAC1" delivers correct NMEA records (text).

The binary spitting up starts when I launch a gpsd client wrapped with
fsoraw. E.g.:

        $ fsoraw -rGPS navit

But I start understanding what's going on: ogpsd initializes the GPS
device in binary mode. Hence no problem so far. And when monitoring GPS
with "gpspipe -r" it seems there is a fix after a while.

But no gpsd client can see the fix ; I've tried with navit as well as
with xgps.

So I guess it might be a gpsd bug. I'll give a try downgrading gpsd to 2.92.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
