My thoughts exactly!

I can confirm that this is possible. I've compiled (and used many times)
GPSDrive 1.31, and gpsmap at the same time. GPSDrive (running under X11)
spawns gpsd, and gpsmap has the ability to either open the serial port
itself, or connect to a gpsd (hostname and port number are configurable).
While I'm a unix guy, I couldn't program my way out of a paper bag, so I
doubt I'm up to the task :)
Off topic, but I'm curious if anyone knows if anyone is attempting to
write a viha-based capture source for kismet? The kismet page mentions its
very possible and to contact the kismet author if anyones interested, but
I can't find any mention of anyone endeavouring to do so..

OOC, has anyone seen a well-done hack for ibooks? Ive got an ibook, and
while the antenna is great, i'd love to hack in an external connector for
a directional antenna..
