- 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.

Changelog
by Tom "spot" Callaway (2009-03-31):
- some of the gpsd client bits went into gpsdclient.h, but that file wasn't getting installed specifically, viking needs that header to build. |
