GPSd on iphone ( thanks Morten )
Morten has ported the gpsd to iphone , and here is the download link : http://www.termestrup.dk/gpsd , you can directly copy to your iphone by ssh.
for those already have the iphone GPS cable , can run the following command in iphone.
root# ./gpsd -N -D 2 /dev/tty.iap
gpsd: launching (Version 2.37)
gpsd: listening on port gpsd
gpsd: running with effective group ID 0
gpsd: running with effective user ID 0
gpsd: opening GPS data source at '/dev/tty.iap'
gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1
gpsd: gpsd_activate(0): opened GPS (4)
gpsd: client 127.0.0.1 (0) connect on fd 5
gpsd: speed 4800, 8N1
gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1
gpsd: speed 19200, 8N1
gpsd: speed 38400, 8N1
to test the gpsd is working, you can open another ssh to connect to your iphone and use the following command to test
root# telnet 127.0.0.1 2947
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
For more information on how to use the gpsd , can look at gpsd official website

Morten said he will release the source code to CVS, I am really looking forward to see how to compile gpsd to iphone.

Well, I haven’t actually ported gpsd – just compiled it for the iPhone and placed the binary on my webserver…
haha , you and simba have make it work on iphone that no one done before. Thanks so so much. I will work hard to let people know more about the iphone gps. You are one of the developer that should give credit ^_^
Morten ,
If you can send your address to my email , I can send some GPS cable to you for free once it is ready.
my email is moming2k at gmail.com
this gpsd is not running on my unit. Is this compatible with firmware 2.2? it simply terminates with “Killed”
