	I've used (and use) the Delorme bluetooth Earthmate GPS with Linux and
gpsd.  Should work just fine with ANY bluetooth gps.  You just have to
pair to them.  I think you have to use gpsd to manage that GPS because
it's NOT speaking NEMEA and gpsd is doing the translating.  Kismet
knows, very well, how to talk to gpsd.  That, and combine it with
"roadnav" and away you go.
