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, and velocity 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. Applications that presently use
|
|
gpsd include Viking and Kismet.
|
|
|
|
See README.build for some additional build options that might be useful.
|
|
|
|
To enable automatic startup of gpsd at boot time, or when a GPS device is
|
|
connected via USB, you need to do the following three steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Edit the file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-gpsd.rules and uncomment the line
|
|
(or lines) beginning '#ATTRS' that corresponds to your GPS hardware and
|
|
save it in /etc/udev/rules.d/. To avoid confusion with other USB serial
|
|
devices that you might have, do not uncomment lines that do not
|
|
correspond to your GPS hardware.
|
|
|
|
2. Make the file /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd executable.
|
|
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd
|
|
|
|
3. Add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd ]; then
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd start
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
Configuration options may be set in the file /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd.conf. The
|
|
defaults will usually be adequate. However, if your GPS is on a real (non-USB)
|
|
serial port -- for example, /dev/ttyS0 -- you should add /dev/ttyS0 to
|
|
GPS_DEVICES in /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd.conf.
