Hi Matthias,

> killall -TERM gpsd
> rfcomm release /dev/rfcomm0
> hcitool scan
> rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 00:1C:88:00:8E:7E
> rfcomm
> unset LANG
> gpsd /dev/rfcomm0

does gpsd work well with other tools at that point, like cgps?
My guess is - not.
If so, please give
gpsd -b /dev/rfcomm0 a try and see if xgps and the other tools work well again.
Often the reason for such issues is that gpsd tries to change settings in the
gps chipset, but buggy bluetooth devices just shoot themselves into the head.

In any case please run gpscat on your device as soon as it is available via
/dev/rfcomm0, probably by replacing gpsd by gpscat in your script above, even
better when that happens asap after powering on the receiver.

Then send your sample via the web form at
https://www.mainframe.cx/cgi-bin/gps_report.cgi - make sure you fill out all the
fields. Please let me know when you've done so.

With the data it might be possible to reproduce the issue.

Thanks and cheers,

Bernd
