For Linux Magazine: GPSD Data from Mobile Phones?

[Markus Feilner-3]

Hi list,
As an editor at the german Linux-Magazine I am preparing an article on GPS and gpsd. I have found
lots of information, I have attached a bluemax bluetooth GPS device and read the data with several
apps like gpsdrive or Qlandkarte. That works like a charm,

Now I have several Mobile Phones here for testing and I am wondering if there is any information
available about howto extract the GPS data from these devices. Live, not through saving to a file
and uploading via web or USB-storage.

Can anyone help me, perhaps with a link? I have the Android (HTC Hero), Nokias 6720 classic and a
Sony Ericsson W 995. I could not find any information about that, except some  forum entries about a
symbian gpsd - which I only found at rapidshare (???).

Thanks a lot!

I don't know how to get GPS info from those.  If you find out, please tell us.
