i've had similar problems with my sirf star III -based locosys btg-31.
After looking at the source code i'd found the issue - only the the
"GPGLL"-NMEA sentence was parsed.

Since my gps-device only supports GPGGA, GPRMC, GPGSA and GPGSV i've
patched /src/host/layer23/src/common/gps.c to get the required data from
GPGGA.

With that i'm also able to get "el-cheapo" support for gpsd (with help
from socat and gpspipe):

/dev/ttyUSB0    // my gps-receiver device
/dev/ttyACM0    // pseudo terminal (created with socat)

start gpsd and connect to the gps receiver
# gpsd -N -n -D 4 /dev/ttyUSB0

create a pseudo terminal and feed it with the output of 'gpspipe -r'
# socat -d -d pty,link=/dev/ttyACM0,raw,echo=0 "exec:gpspipe -r"

Now you can start cell_log and read the gps-data from the newly created
pseudo terminal.


This is by no means a proper integration for gpsd as with libgps/libgpsd
- but at least it works for me.
