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

[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,

welcome in the Command Line Club.
Me too interested to fire up gps from terminal.
I did so under XP Windows having usb gps flooding with NMEA sentences.
Ok.
What I need is shell script parser to extract and read geodata from NMEA stream.
As I remember one should read fix data.
