#!/bin/sh
if [ $# == 0 ]; then
        sdptool add SP
        while true; do
                rfcomm -r -i hci0 listen 2 1 $0 {}
        done
fi
exec /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper >$1

The Nokia will then act like most bluetooth GPS units (except when
starting up the packets will be one every 5 seconds so some cell-phone
gps software will time-out - read the entire thread).
