From the README:

A simple GLib based program which periodically reads coordinates from gpsd.

The logs directory contains a sample gps log which can be fed to gpsfake:

gpsfake 1334-N-20071129-GTA01-A3.log

Make sure gpsd is not running before attempting to run gpsfake.

The data was taken from a Neo 1973 in central London. It will take a moment
to start showing coordinates.

I was looking for something to do with my beagleboard so decided that using it for this project would be fun. I have ordered a 100 meter Bluetooth dongle so will see how well that really works. I am interested in low cost community driven alternatives to GPS especially ones that work well in urban environments.
