The GPS device scanning is a bit strange. The scanner doesn't stop
scanning and it seems that the user should nevertheless select what's
found and press 'Ok' ('Pair with device' stays gray all the time).
However canceling it and rescanning doesn't find anything anymore, but
still keeps scanning for ages.
My simple program, when started w/o arguments, also scans using
btsearch, and that one does work (finds the GPS and stop searching on
the BTSEARCH_SEARCH_COMPLETE_SIG).
So something goes wrong here ..

Same issues with hanging bluetooth as reported before, as soon as
gpsdrive reports 'Timeout on getting data from GPS' I can disconnect
with your tool, though telephone icon stays green and your plugin does
not reconnect. Only with the plastic cover trick or reboot, the phone
icon has the red cross and I can reconnect with your tool.

Gui looks nice. I only had to reboot to get that 'B' bluetooth icon.

GpsDrive is Hildon now, great. Btw, it may want to strip the
 '/home/user/.gpsdrive/way.txt: No such file or directory'
messages that fills up my /tmp/gpsdrive_startup.log.

You mentioned you also saw timeouts on the GPS data stream as well,
have you any explaination for that yet?

Thanks,
