Meeting tonight

[Art Miller]

I shall be late but present

[Robert Sears]

There was some discussion on setting up GPSD and USB GPS devices.

Once you have installed GPSD you and can start it like this

sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock

Edit /etc/default/gpsd and put the command line in:

# Default settings for the gpsd init script and the hotplug wrapper.

# Start the gpsd daemon automatically at boot time
START_DAEMON="true"

# Use USB hotplugging to add new USB devices automatically to the daemon
USBAUTO="true"

# Devices gpsd should collect to at boot time.
# They need to be read/writeable, either by user gpsd or the group dialout.
DEVICES="/dev/ttyUSB0"

# Other options you want to pass to gpsd
GPSD_OPTIONS="-F /var/run/gpsd.sock"

Then issued this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd

Reboot and see if it works...

Yes, did all that and it worked.  Was one of many things I've been trying to get working over the past week.
