Yea I didn't get that either. I have a Python sensor gathering app (LtSense) that uses the gpsd python bindings and it works really well.

I mean if he's targeting one GPS device, this might work fine, but GPS targets a lot of devices with lots of fixes for broken protocol implementations.

Personally I bought a cheap USB GPS device (GlobalSat BU-353-S4) that offers NMEA compliant strings, and I coded off the NMEA spec. I don't think for a personal project it's unreasonable to say "code for spec, and buy a GPS receiver that meets it".
