Unfortunately there is no support currently: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/geoclue/2015-June/000687.html (please read that thread on this topic) but the network NMEA source mentioned in there has been in place for a while now so it shouldn't be a huge task at all to get geoclue to make use of GPSD. > However I was able > to find a seemingly outdated geoclue-gpsd package for Ubuntu > (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/utils/geoclue-gpsd) from 2012. > > You can see a screenshot of the vastly different results cgps and geoclue > give me here: http://imgur.com/a/vBu99 Ubuntu still packages and uses the deprecated and unsupported geoclue implementation so ignore them. :) -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali _______________________________________________ GeoClue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/geoclue
