GPSd

GPSd

To enable, remove any GPSPort line from the APRSDIGI config section and add something like

 GPSDHost=192.168.1.18
GPSDPort=2947

As far as I can see gpsd normally only listens on the loopback address (127.0.0.1). If you want to use gpsd on another host you will have to find a way get it to listen for any network. The only way I could get this to work was to disable the automatic start of gpsd and run it from the command line. If you can find a better way, please let me know.

I haven’t found a working gpsd for Windows, so have been testing with BPQ on Windows connecting to gpsd on a Raspberry Pi.
