[kismac] Re: GPSD Support for KisMAC?

http://pygps.org/gpsd/protocol.html

theres a breakdown of the gpsd protocol, its pretty simple stuff, all 
kismac would have to do is open a connection, and pass "p" to it 
everytime it wanted the lat/lon..

UDP would be okay too, but i cant imagine it being too much better 
performance wise than just maintaining a tcp connection to gpsd on startup..
