How I have configured it:
On my phone (Android), I have installed BlueNMEA.

It uses port 4352.

I then run gpsd with the following commandline:

sudo gpsd -n -D8 -S 1001 tcp://192.168.1.158:4352

Explanation of why I am using these options:
 -n do not wait for data, just poll the device.
 -D8 maximum debug level.
 -S 1001 send the data to the localhost port 1001 (default is 2947 according to the gpsd documentation).
 - tcp://192.168.1.158:4352 this says to get the data from the phone via TCP/IP using the port that BlueNMEA publishes to on the phone.

Then point the GPS client at localhost:1001
For example:
cgps localhost:1001

I had problems with getting bluetooth to work, so I went with IP address instead.

Will stellarium get the time from the NMEA data as well, or will it rely on the time on the computer ?
