gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
|
||||
attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports, making
|
||||
all data on the location/course/velocity of the sensors
|
||||
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 GPSes
|
||||
without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to
|
||||
queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than
|
||||
the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes. The gpsd distribution
|
||||
includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper class, and
|
||||
a Python module that developers of gpsd-aware applications can
|
||||
use to encapsulate all communication with gpsd.

Besides gpsd itself, the project provides auxiliary tools for

diagnostic monitoring and profiling of GPSes and feeding
|

GPS-aware applications GPS logs for diagnostic purposes.
