[maemo-developers] How to fire up gps daemon from command line - wanna build GPS app on N810

[From: John]

I am new to maemo development and just got an N810.

I have found out that if the gps daemon is started, it will stream NMEA 
ascii to a pseudo-tty which I can then easily read.

However, in my tinkering, the way I started the daemon was to fire off the 
Nokia mapping app. But when I did a
tail -f on the tty, after a few seconds the feed stopped.

I suspect the mapping app was no longer getting data once I was tailing the 
tty, and shut down the daemon.

Ideas?

Thanks
