Hi,

sorry I was wrong. On maemo4 aka diablo you can start gpsd either

via liblocation
http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node10.html#SECTION001027100000000000000

or using the old way via gpsbt_start()

Seems you need a little helperprogram to activate gpsd first.

I quick snooped with dbus-monitor, so at least there is a dbus-signal
when gpsd is started. But that's dont come from gpsd.

Bye Henning
