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.
