-      gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
-      attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports, making
-      all data on the location/course/velocity of the sensors
-      available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer.
-      With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications (such as
-      navigational and wardriving software) can share access to GPSes
-      without contention or loss of data.  Also, gpsd responds to
-      queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than
-      the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.  The gpsd distribution
-      includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper class, and
-      a Python module that developers of gpsd-aware applications can
-      use to encapsulate all communication with gpsd.

       Besides gpsd itself, the project provides auxiliary tools for
-      diagnostic monitoring and profiling of GPSes and feeding
-      GPS-aware applications GPS logs for diagnostic purposes.
