Hi lovely folks, I'm pleased to announce a second release of gps-share:
https://github.com/zeenix/gps-share/releases/tag/0.2.0 Changers: - Bump timeout to 3 seconds on reading RS232 devices. 1 seconds is too little for some GPS devices, e.g NaviLock NL 602U. - Support devices belonging to USB CDC class (e.g NaviLock NL 602U). - Use port 10110 by default, the standard IANA nmea-0183 service port. - Support Galieo, BeiDou, GLONASS, and GNSS devices. All contributors: Daniel Aleksandersen <[email protected]> Sebastian Dröge <[email protected]> Zeeshan Ali <[email protected]> --- gps-share is a utility to share your GPS device on local network. It has two goals: * Share your GPS device on the local network so that all machines in your home or office can make use of it. * Enable support for standalone (i-e not part of a cellular modem) GPS devices in Geoclue. Since Geoclue has been able to make use of network NMEA sources since 2015, gps-share works out of the box with Geoclue. The latter means that it is a replacement for GPSD[1] and Gypsy[2]. While "why not GPSD?" has already been documented[3], Gypsy has been unmaintained for many years now. I did not feel like reviving a dead project and I really wanted to code in Rust so I decided to create gps-share.
