File Contents

# Content
1 gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
2 attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
3 making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
4 sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
5 host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
6 (such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
7 access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
8 gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
9 easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.
