Sprint U727 GPS and Ubuntu?

Hey all,

I've installed gpsd and gpsdrive and was wondering if anyone knows how to configure them to work with the GPS capabilities of the U727. I have it set and working to connect to the internet (albeit kinda slow at the moment).

Where do I go to get started?

Thanks,
Eric

*bump*

i'm looking for information on this solution as well.

the u727, in combination with usbserial and a patched airprime module, creates 12 ttyUSB devices. Not sure why it creates so many as I only use ttyUSB0 for connecting to the internet with ppp.

anyone else successfully get gps working with this card?
