I've put my $100 sShmoocon speakers honorarium as a bounty for getting GPSD to work under Cygwin

I'm still not sure why dragorn did'nt just allow an option for GPS on a serial port.
Found this implementation of GPSD , which alledgedly should work under cygwin :
TGPSD is an alternative gpsd implementation. It talks directly to a NMEA gps reviever, and supplies local and remote tcp clients with position/time data. It aims to be compatible with all software that currently uses gpsd on the back end. Also, it adds a few extra commands for retrieving satellite information.

Software Requirements:
Linux or cygwin and a gps reciever.

Features:

* Better error reporting than gpsd. Does not die silently.
* Source designed to make adding modules easy
* Written in C++
* Runs on Linux and Cygwin/Windows (and most likely other platforms)

Works fine under Linux with Kismet.
