> How can I test the NMEA output? In XCSoar you can use Config -> Config -> Config -> Raw logger to log raw data on serial port to file. If I'm right, you can find that file in the XCSoarData root directory. The second option is using some "port reader" on android device - maybe "GetBlue Bluetooth Reader, Demo" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tecit.datareader.android.getblue.demo&feature=search_result) could help you to see which data is transmitting throught the bluetooth serial connection.
