Homepage: http://www.catb.org/gpsd/
Description-en: Global Positioning System - daemon
The gpsd service daemon can monitor one or more GPS devices connected to
a host computer, making all data on the location and movements of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947.
.
With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications can share access to devices
without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a
format that is substantially easier to parse than the different standards
emitted by GPS devices.
.
This also includes common tools ubxtool and gpsctl for device configuration
of the local hardware as well as a ntpshmmon to check generated refclock data.
