- 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.
