In a nutshell, I'll need to hookup 3 devices just to use WAZE on my N95 if I don't get this piece of software.
BTW, if it is possible to write this with Python, I'll need some guidance and I'll be happy to write it.
Just need to know where to start and how to access the GPS data on the N900 + how to create a "listener" with python code.
http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_...on_from_Python tells how to use the location API, I'm not sure if there is a good way to access the raw NMEA feed.

Then you need to figure out how to open the BT serial connection and output NMEA sentences over it whenever you get a signal from the location service.
