Question regarding "bluetooth gps" sharing from mobile phone about viking HOT 2 CLOSED

Yes Viking supports GPSD.

You need to create a GPS Layer and in the properties set up GPSD via the Realtime Tracking Mode tab.
Here you can set the GPSD host and port (and other settings), although the default settings of localhost and port 2947 normally work.

Then right click on the GPS layer in layers panel (the list on left hand side) and select Start Realtime Tracking.

HTH.

PS: Not sure where you read about only ttyUSB, but Viking can also use ttyS (serial ports) - although I think they are only displayed if those ports are detected. However these are only for upload/downloading recorded data via GPSBabel (rather than the live data - then GPSD needs to be used).

Good to know, getting that crash also on my Ubuntu netbook so waiting on new version.
