  I can second this. It doesn't take long thought to imagine how nice
it may be to use GPS-enabled smartphone as a kind of standalone GPS
for laptop, and doesn't take too long forums searching do see that
that's what many users actually look for. For WinCE/Windows, one has to
install commercial multiplexors to achieve that, fortunately, with Unix,
it's standard feature, thanks to gpsd.
