gpsd?

[Floe]

AFAIR somebody wrote a while ago that he wanted to try and get gpsd running on the A780. Has there been any success?

As a more in-depth question, does anyone know if it's absolutely necessary to
go through lapisrv for GPS data? Somebody mentioned the Java Location API, but running a whole midlet just to get some GPS data seems a bit excessive..

It's real easy to write a little MIDlet showing the GPS-Data.
You can give BikeAtor a try http://www.penguinpower.de/bikeator
I can send you the Sourcecode if needed or implement some new functionality. You have to turn on GPS by hand to get data.

It's not easy to access midlet over network socket locally from non-java appliction - I haven't managed to do this. I can post source of midlet that realizes gpsd functionality (sometime ago I ported it to C), test it.
