Does Xastir provide GPS data to gpsd.. I know it can use data _from_ gpsd.. but I am talking about GPS data coming off a GPS attached directly to the TNC..? How does one go about configuring gpsd to recieve data from xastir? Thanks, Lee Burton [email protected] 301 910 0246

"gpsd" is the option that we use for such. It allows sharing of GPS data, but then your apps need to be able to talk to gpsd. I don't know if there's a virtual serial port sort of client for gpsd, or whether it has that built directly in, but that'd be the place to put your efforts (my opinion). -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
