acquire packets like:
 strace -p $(pidof location-daemon) -e read=6 2>&1|grep '| 000'

alternatively you can capture them from the network interface, but this will include other modem information:
 tcpdump -i phonet0 -s 0 -w phonet.cap

== Protocol Details ==

NOTE: I am counting octets based on zero.

The actual packets are comprised of "sub-packets".
The overall packet has a 12 byte header.
The number of sub-packets is located at octet 8 (and possibly little-endian extended to octet 11).

Each subpacket has a 4 byte header:
* Octet 0 is always 9
* Octet 1 is the subpacket type
* Octet 2 is always 0
* Octet 3 is the length of the subpacket (which includes the subpacket header itself)

Subpacket 2 contains position information:
* Octets 0-3 are the latitude
* Octets 4-7 are the longitude
* Octets 12-15 are "eph" (in centimetres)
* Octets 18-23 are the altitude (and accuracy information)

Subpacket 3 contains date and time information:
* Octets 0-1 are the year
* Octet 2 is the month
* Octet 3 is the day of month
* Octet 5 is the hour
* Octet 6 is the minute
* Octets 8-9 are milliseconds (including seconds)
* Octets 10-11 are the time accuracy

Subpacket 4 contains information on track, speed, and climb:
* Octets 0-1 are track (direction of motion) in cm/sec
* Octets 2-3 are the track accuracy
* Octets 6-7 are the speed in cm/sec
* Octets 8-9 are speed accuracy
* Octets 8-11 are climb in cm/sec
* Octets 12-13 are climb accuracy

Subpacket 5 contains satellite information:
* Octet 0 is the number of sats visible
* Beginning with octet 8, there are series of 12-octet info for each sat visible:
** Octet 1 is the PRN
** Octet 2 is 1 if the sat is being used, and 0 otherwise
** Octets 3-4 are the signal strength
** Octets 6-7 are the elevation
** Octets 8-9 are the azimuth

Subpacket 7 contains information on the GSM cellular network:
** Octets 0-1 contain the Mobile Country Code
** Octets 2-3 contain the Mobile Network Code
** Octets 4-5 contain the Location Area Code
** Octets 6-7 contain the Cell ID

Subpacket 8 contains information on the WCDMA cellular network:
** Octets 0-1 contain the Mobile Country Code
** Octets 2-3 contain the Mobile Network Code
** Octets 4-7 contain the UC ID

== Wireshark ==

[[User:sre|Sebastian Reichel]] writes a lowlevel library to access the N900's modem features and a wireshark plugin to analyze the packages. The information from above is currently only included in the Wireshark Plugin:

* [https://git.ring0.de/isi-wireshark-plugin/ Plugin]
