I have a bit of an unusual set up.. I use my phone to share gps data (nmea sentences) with my netbook via bluetooth. On the netbook side i use gpsd, which gets is data from /dev/rfcomm0 I believe.. Foxtrotgps app works with that kind of setup, does Viking work with that too? And how to set it up? Since I've read somewhere that Viking can only get data in from ttyUSB0?
It would be nice if I could use my current setup without changes with Viking. (phone gps->nmea->bluetooth->gpsd-> software to display position on map)
Cheers!

You need to create a GPS Layer and in the properties set up GPSD via the Realtime Tracking Mode tab.
Here you can set the GPSD host and port (and other settings), although the default settings of localhost and port 2947 normally work.
Then right click on the GPS layer in layers panel (the list on left hand side) and select Start Realtime Tracking.
HTH.
PS: Not sure where you read about only ttyUSB, but Viking can also use ttyS (serial ports) - although I think they are only displayed if those ports are detected. However these are only for upload/downloading recorded data via GPSBabel (rather than the live data - then GPSD needs to be used).
