After all that I would think its safe to say that a bluetooth gps will
have to use gpsd, for now anyway. It should be fine for windows as the
driver should place a virtual serial port like comX and rxtx will pick
that up.
Yes, this is true. But only for a Java program.
Xastir and OpenCPN, both C program I suppose, are able to connect to a
GPS on /dev/rfcomm0.
If using only Linux native programs gpsd is the correct solution. If
using some windows program under wine (like SeaClear) gpsd don't work
and I need to connect to /dev/rfcomm0 directly.
