Package: gpsd-clients (2.33-4)

clients for the GPS daemon

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 war- driving 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.

This package contains auxiliary tools for diagnostic monitoring and profiling of GPSes and feeding GPS-aware applications specified track data for diagnostic purposes.
