hi
  I connect to my bluetooth gps with:

>rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 <BT-adress>

Where <BT-address> is the bluetooth address of your gps receiver (use
"hcitool scan", if you don't now the address).

now /dev/rfcomm0 is the serial device.

showing the nmea strings on the screen:
>cat /dev/rfcomm0

or start gpsdrive with gpsd:
>gpsd /dev/rfcomm0
>gpsdrive


Georg
