Package: gpsdrive Version: 2.10~pre4-1 Severity: normal According to the man page, gpsdrive has -s and -r options to override the autodetection. Since the autodetection doesn't notice the panels at the top and bottom of my screen I tried to use these options to set a saner resolution.

If I telnet to the gpsd port on my local machine I definitely do see my altitude coming through on the various data streams available. Does the GPS Status bar in the bottom right corner sometimes displays a 3D Fix which is needed to determine the altitude? The problem might be that gpsdrive switches to n/a in the altitude widget as soon as your gps device loses its 3D fix. If this happens frequently it might look as if there were no altitude information altogether. It would be helpful if you could provide a sample of collected nmea data for example by starting gpsd with -D2 or by reading nmea sentences directly from the device. GPSDrive *never* displays the altitude. It always displays n/a in this area. The GPS itself is a Garmin GPSMap 60 CSx which has a barometric altimeter, can see 10 satellites at the time and is itself displaying altitude and '3D' in it's own status. Here is a sample from connecting to gpsd now.

Here is a sample from connecting to gpsd now. There are no GSA sentences in your sample log and i think gpsdrive heavily relies on them to determine whether it knows the altitude or not. According to the manual of the 60CSx the device should use GSA. Did you set the Serial Data Format in the Interface Setup menu to NMEA and if not, can you please verify if the problem persists with this setting? I can set the serial data format to 'NMEA', but it doesn't make a difference because I'm using the USB connection. It looks like the Garmin will only output in the 'Garmin' format via the USB connection, so gpsdrive is depending on the 'on the fly' translation done by gpsd for non-NMEA units. On the other hand, gpsd is certainly *providing* the altitude within the NMEA output, viz: $GPGGA,055148,4106.5421,S,17452.2917,E,1,09,,94.9,M,16.836,M,,*42 It looks like the GSA sentence is not produced by gpsd when it's doing it's on-the-fly translation. It does provide a 'q' command which returns essentially the same data, so it could probably be added. On the other hand, perhaps using the GSA message as the sole source of altitude data seems short-sighted, especially if there are GPS out there which can provide greater altitude accuracy by combining the GPS data with other sensors internally. I've filed bug #456634 against gpsd asking if it can also provide GSA sentences when synthesizing NMEA output, but I think it would still be nice if gpsdrive were capable of using the GGA output as an alternative as well. Thanks for your help.
