I wonder if there is a module implemented in GRASS to see the actual position of a GPS connected to a notebook.
Can somebody tell me if there is a possibility to do real time tracking and with which module?
Thanks a lot, cheers Martin

GRASS is not really about realtime.
Try the GPS section on www.freegis.org to
see several software pieces to use readout GPS information.
Then there are others to visualise stuff.
You certainly also can add that information to GRASS maps
or use something like gpsdrive.

Try:
gpsman - A GPS manager
gpsdrive - Car navigation system.
gpstrans - communicate with a Garmin Global Positioning System receiver
xastir - X Amateur Station Tracking and Information Reporting
for GRASS import:
s.in.garmin.sh
v.in.garmin.sh
(both require gpstrans)
You might be able to make a loop downloading the track and replacing the
vector file, but this would be terribly inefficient- it's a pity you
can't flush the track line with gpstrans. But parsing NMEA statements
realtime is the way to go, anyhow.
So try gpsman or gpsdrive instead, maybe with an exported raster map as
the backdrop.

http://pygps.org, too. Shows your position on any raster map with a
world file.

On Mac OSX, there's GPSys, too, which is a very good program.

Think you mean GPSy (www.gpsy.com).
Unfortunately, it's not free software.
