- # Further notes:
- # * In the packaging field, a "GPS mouse" is a standalone sensor in a

- # "OEM module" is an un-cased circuit board with edge connectors; a
- # "chipset" is what it sounds like.
- # A "handset" is a standalone GPS with a display and human-usable
- # controls. A "handsfree" is a hands-free unit with display designed for
- # mounting on a car windshield or boat dash.
- # * In the rating field:
- # "excellent" - gpsd recognizes the GPS rapidly and reliably,
- # reports are complete and correct.
- # "good" -- gpsd has minor problems or lag recognizing the device,
- # but reports are complete and correct.
- # "fair" -- Reports have minor dropouts or problems, including occasional
- # transient nonsense values.
- # "poor" -- Reports frequently have values that are wrong or nonsense.
- # "broken" -- gpsd frequently fails to recognize the device at all.
- # "other -- See Technical Notes.
