I'm pretty sure this is the problem.  "gpspipe -r" is supposed to
generate NMEA data, and I guess that normally happens by

- gpspipe telling gpsd the format that it wants

- gpsd generating output in that format.

The problem then would be fso-gpsd not taking any notice of the initial
format instruction.

I wonder - as an alternative to the option of trying to install and use
gpsd - if it would be trivial to write a program (e.g. in Python) to
convert from the GPDS format above to the NMEA format.
