gpsd is a monitor daemon that watches a TCP/IP port (2947 by default),
|
|
waiting for applications to request information from GPSes or
|
|
differential-GPS radios attached to the host machine. Each GPS or
|
|
radio is expected to be direct-connected to the host via a USB or
|
|
RS232C serial port. The port may be specified to gpsd at startup, or
|
|
it may be set via a command shipped down a local control socket (e.g.
|
|
by a USB hotplug script). Given a GPS device by either means, gpsd
|
|
discovers the correct port speed and protocol for it.
