the lead developer of gpsd refuses to understand how systemd works and is
rather unpleasant to deal with.

Then -n would be a workaround...

In the "default" way (and that is: for most cases don't do anything except
somthing via the socket talks to gpsd), which is the only sane option for
distributions imho, gpsd is configured to talk to a gps device when udev will
recognize one. So there is no need for -n.

If there is a need for anything else - change the configuration.
