N800 doesn't have built in gps.
I quess you would have to write a piece of software that acts like bluetooth gps module. I quess you get the functionality faster by buying bt gps module.
in finland those seems to cost from 30eur upwards...

I was just editing my post to reflect why I don't want an external gps module (;
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.

here are some links if you decide to start coding:
front page:
http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo
GPS
http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API
And with listener, what does it listen?
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.

Iv'e been looking for a way to do just what the title says,
I found some script for the N800, but it's not for the N900,
I found another thread about minigpsd, but it will not install
cause it's missing some package, (even if it would install I don't know for sure it will do what I need).
All of my "power searches" have gotten me nowhere, so I am at the point where I need your help.
Has anyone managed to do this? I don't care if I need to download and stuff manually, just need this working!
Edit : The reason I need this lies here + my N95's internal gps does not work for more then 1 year now, before I bought the N900 I used an external gps over bluetooth, I want to stop using it as I basically have the needed hardware inside the N900, and sell it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eitam.
