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. -- cgit v1.2.3
