[Xastir] on Android

[Kurt]

Ok,   I had loaded GPS Share on my Android device quite some time ago and this script kiddie took a few minutes to set it up and then configure Xastir-On-Android to use gpsd and by golly, using localhost and the stock2947 address, IT'S GOING!!  YEEEEE HAAAA. Feeding right off the internal GPS chipset of the Nexus 7 2013 LTE Done!!
Now the only and probably more difficult task is going to to see if I can pair a B/T TNC or B/T NMEA tracker receiver and actually do some work with this thing.  That's the killer thing there.  If I can pair a B/T device to the Android N7 and see if I can "hand" the datastream over to GNU/Root we'll be in the clear. 
If THAT works only thing left will be perhaps tweaking the icon and font sizes a bit.  I lowered the resolution in the XSDL serverin the setup screen and that helps a bit. 
Ok, I get the lat/long with gpsd and GPS share but I'm not seeing my msl altitude of my station going out.Gpsd limitation or did I not have a switch selected? I see altitudes of incoming stations that are sending themto the screen though.

  "Share NMEA GPS sentences or act as a GPSD compatible server via the following methods:
  * Bluetooth
  * TCP/IP (wifi/mobile data)
  * USB"

  "Add GPSD compatible server with Share GPS command (see help)"

That may be the ticket.
