how about a proper gpsd-integration? I've some spare time in the end of
this month to try it.
I would parse only one least common NMEA-sentence. As Mad said the
"GPRMC"-sentence should be a good candidate for this.
All other GPS-input-messages could be read via libgpsd from gpsd (which
seems to be able to read  even most obscure GPS-binary formats).
