Hi Rodolphe,
you can find a running gpsd(aemon) wich serves the output of a hooked up 
gps-device
on  port 2222. Just type :
http://www.mgix.com:2222 and you could see the output.
If you install GPS3D you could "pipe"
 the output with :
viz www.mgix.com into GPS3D.


if you start Gpsdrive without a running gpsd the programm offers you the 
option
start running itself in a simulator mode. Maybe you could "pipe" the 
internet-gpsd into
Gpsdrive? Never tried it myself.
good luck!

Heiko
