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, foxtrotgps and Kismet. - -See README.build for some 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 four steps: - -1. Copy the file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-gpsd.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ - -2. Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/97-gpsd.rules and uncomment the line -(or lines) beginning '#ATTRS' that corresponds to your GPS hardware. -To avoid confusion with other USB serial devices that you might have, -do not uncomment lines that do not correspond to your GPS hardware. -But if you do not know which line to uncomment, and you do not have any -other serial devices, you can uncomment them all :-) - -3. Make the file /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd executable. - chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpsd - -4. 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. |
