Hello, thanks for the info. I checked and /etc/defaults/gpsd was set to the correct device, but there was a file called /etc/defaults/gpsd.default with an other entry. I checked with nc 192.168.0.202 2947 and got the output after having started gpsd again. I think I'll have to take the freerunner for a walk to check if I get data outside of the building. Interestingly the /etc/init.d/gpsd startscript does not get triggered when selecting "Turn on GPS" in the power menu. Does anyone know what action gets invoked upon selecting "Turn on GPS" ? Is this for activating/deactivating the physical device or is the /etc/init.d/gps-hardware start script (dummy file) being invoked?
Thanks..
