Hi all, I just bought a bluetooth GPS thing with a Sirf Star 3
chipset. I've just found out that Python doesn't work yet on my Nokia
N80 so I'm going to try it with my Zaurus instead, in fact first with
my linux PC at home.

So I was wondering what's the easiest way to do this? I expect I can
just make a bluetooth serial port connection and then just receive the
nmea strings? I've tried googling but can't seem to find the info i
want. Any pointers will be helpful as I'm new to this. I'm keen to
start recording tracks in east london.... Thanks!

Emil
