I am trying to connect a bluetooth GPS iPAQ Navigation System Model# BT-308 to my gumstix.  When I boot the gumstix here is what I see:

(I snipped out the bluetooth related info from the boot sequence)
....
Bluetooth: Core ver 2.11  
Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized                       
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

Starting Bluetooth subsystem:                                                  
Trying baud rate 921600...                                                     
Got response after reset... gobbling                                           
Detected bluetooth module at 921600 baud

...

When I run:

root@gumstix-custom-verdex:~$ hcitool scan                                     
Scanning ...                                                                   
        00:0D:B5:02:F9:85       BT-GPS-02F985                                  
root@gumstix-custom-verdex:~$ hcitool inq

        00:0D:B5:02:F9:85       clock offset: 0x55ed    class: 0x001f00        
root@gumstix-custom-verdex:~$

I can see it and I can inquire about it.  I can even see it with:

root@gumstix-custom-verdex:/dev$ hidd --search                                 
Searching ...                                                                  
        Connecting to device 00:0D:B5:02:F9:85                                 
root@gumstix-custom-verdex:/dev$

How do I see the GPS data coming from the device?
