Serial terminal to read GPS data for Linux

[Geoffrey Combes]

Thanks Daniel, Tried installing putty (which I now remember using a long 
time ago) but was denied because it was unable to lock admin directory 
/var/lib/dpkg/. However I found two versions of this terminal emulator 
in Ubuntu Software and installed one of them. I shall see how I go from 
here.
