Okay, so you'll have the BT GPS feed the Pi so that it knows where it
is, and then the Byonics GPS feed the TT4?

Cool, looks right!

Okay, well, that's not what it was designed to do of course, but I
imagine it won't be too hard to get it to do what you want. It will be
displaying information that isn't correct, however, such as last
transmitted packet time, digipeater penetration, etc.

If you set the bits of the config file such that it never beacons, and
if the TT4 sends the raw packets over the serial port in KISS format,
then it should start displaying things as you want.

I think that the TT4 can go into straight KISS TNC mode, and if that's
the case, it'd be simpler (IMHO, of course) to just let the Pi do
everything. That way you have one GPS, a consistent display, etc.
