Description-en: Global Positioning System - Python libraries
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.
.
This package contains a Python interface to connect to gpsd, together with
a module providing a controlled testing environment. It also ships two tools
which utilize the interface: gpsprof for latency-profiling, and gpsfake to
simulate a GPS by playing back a logfile.
