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 ?
