Begin3 Title: gpsd Version: 2.8 Entered-date: 2005-01-27 Description: gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor connected to the host computer by serial or USB interface, making its data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications (such as navigational and wardriving software) can share access to a GPS without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than NMEA 0183. After installing this RPM, gpsd will try to start up at boot time. If your distribution does not use udevd, you must manually create a symlink named /dev/gps to the serial or USB port that your GPS will plug in to (normally this will be /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0). The daemon will be quiescent when there are no clients asking for location information, and copes gracefully when the GPS is unplugged. Author: Remco Treffkorn Derrick J. Brashear Russ Nelson Eric S.
