I see, so there must be some higher-level protocol. I'm wondering if
there's a standard for it..

There's some NMEA 0183 V2.2 Standard mentioned:

Interesting :-)

I know that you have been asked this question before, but I have seen
no answer. How difficult would that be to have a Bluetooth support
in FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE? For example, this Serial Port Profile only?
