I also had a problem with gpsd on BBB running debian/3.8.13-bone50. The
issue was that the init script was correct but systemd intercepts the init
script before it executes. My fix was to edit
/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.service to this:
[Unit]
Description=GPS (Global Positioning System) Daemon
Requires=gpsd.socket
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/gpsd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpsd -N ${GPSD_OPTIONS} ${DEVICES}
[Install]
Also=gpsd.socket
