Thanks ! It's just the kind of information I needed ... There is even some
sample code I can use ...
Nothing about speech2text /text2speech ? ;-)

gpsd is included in N800. Please see

http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_connectivity_gu
ide_bora.html

Please note, however, that there is an open bug

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621

that can be overcome with

   setenv("GPSD_PROG","/usr/sbin/gpsd",1);

before calling gpsbt_start(). This bug prevents for example the gps-saver
application from connecting to gpsd.
