Nice, thank you.
Unfurtunaltely, I can't test this for the next weeks, but I'll get to it
using several USB GPS Recievers.

Hi Nikolai,
Just so you know, we now have basic support for standalone GPS devices
through a new piece of Software I've written:

Hello!
Currently I'm trying to get Gnome Maps to display my
location
based
on my
USB-GPS receiver (NL-602U). However geoclue seems to only
provide
very rough
data based on my IP address. The receiver is working fine
with
GPSD
and its
clients like Navit.
I couldn't really find any documentation regarding the use
of
GPS
in
combination with GeoClue, so that's why I'm asking here.
Unfortunately there is no support currently:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/geoclue/2015-June/0006
87.h
tml
(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.
I'd recommend making it use gypsy instead:
http://gypsy.freedesktop.org/why-not-gpsd.html
I think more relevant fact here is that Gypsy has been completely
unmaintained for years now so I wouldn't want to depend on it
unless
the situation changes.
The difference in quality between the two really hasn't changed,
fwiw.
Sure but unmaintained code means a lot of problems. E.g I recently
had
to kick the entire navigation framework from Genivi Dev Platform
because it was requiring gypsy and gypsy doesn't build with latest
gcc.
It's probably easier to fix the few warnings or errors in gypsy than to
make gpsd's architecture sensible. We can even figure out how to give
write access to the repo if that's going to be of help.
