Question on setting up all of those good stuff. I've never setup gps on my empeg before. I downloaded your release, setup everything exactly how your instructions. Hooked up my maybe working gps box, and got nothing. Went through all the setting for GPSapp, and found protocol=earthmate which is what i have. I made the custom cable, swapping pins 2/3 and straight with #5.

But i guess my main question is, do i need to setup mini_ifconfig and gpsd? i noticed in the GPSapp readme, it says very little at the bottom about those. So are the needed?
