also this is a bluetooth GPS device, it is connected once the rfcomm
connect 4 command is run. it is already setup in the bluetooth
manager, /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf is setup already as:

rfcomm4 {
        bind yes;
        device 00:1C:88:30:11:45 ;
        channel 1;
        comment "Serial Port";
        }

To make the connection I am forced to use SUDO which causes issues
trying to use any program with the GPS.

In Ubuntu 9.10 I didnt need to use sudo with this and programs such as
xgps worked fine.
