Don't use GPSD from Maemo Mapper -- instead use a direct Bluetooth
connection.

I don't remember if OS2007 included gpsd or if that was an extra
package.  OS2007 does indeed include gpsd but doesn't start it unless
you ask for it via DBus (and Maemo Mapper doesn't, which makes the gpsd
option useless).
