PAT and gpsd

[Wolf, OE7FTJ]

Hi all!

I'm running PAT v0.6.1 on a RasPi3 under Debian Stretch. The GPS receiver is a u-blox7 USB device and works fine. gpsd is running.

The config line  "gpsd_addr": "localhost:2947", is present in the config-file. But in the menu 'Action' -> 'Position' is no geolocation available.

Any ideas where I can tune to get the geolocation working in PAT?

Hi Wolf,

gpsd is currently not supported in the web GUI. Please see issue #132 on Github (https://github.com/la5nta/pat/issues/132).

For GPSd, you could use the subcommand "position" of the CLI.  Run `pat position --help` for instructions.

Hi Martin!

I recognized that the 'Action -> Position' menu item takes the data from '/dev/gps0' or '/dev/ttyACM0', BUT some kilometers more in the west than the real position is. So it's very missleadig to see the position function in the menu.

BTW: the workaround to get the GPS-data is to use the Firefox browser and not the default Chromium.
