Guys

If you set up gpsd, you can do this in a straightforward way, assuming
rfcomm0 is available:

sdptool add SP
rfcomm -r watch 0 1 sh -c "gpspipe -r >/dev/rfcomm0" &

the first command advertises a serial port on channel 1, the second
sets up a listener that will repeat the nmea stream over channel 1
whenever someone connects on it.

there may be ways to make gpsd put out a pre-recorded stream, or you
could write your own app that runs in place of gpspipe and slowly
sends out your nmea log in eg 1-second intervals.

Andrew's device class suggestion may be required for some devices, but
I didn't need it for a pocketpc or my n800.

Brad
