Ok, I had loaded GPS Share on my Android device quite some time ago and this
script kiddie took a few minutes to set it up and then configure
Xastir-On-Android to use gpsd and by golly, using localhost and the stock2947
address, IT'S GOING!! YEEEEE HAAAA. Feeding right off the internal GPS chipset
of the Nexus 7 2013 LTE Done!!
Did you have to go to the ShareGPS settings and enable NMEA sentences to get
the GPS to work for Xastir?
If THAT works only thing left will be perhaps tweaking the icon and font sizes
a bit. I lowered the resolution in the XSDL serverin the setup screen and that
helps a bit.
What resolution are you running now?
Ok, I get the lat/long with gpsd and GPS share but I'm not seeing my msl
altitude of my station going out.Gpsd limitation or did I not have a switch
selected? I see altitudes of incoming stations that are sending themto the
screen though.
I'm updating the Wiki page as things are discovered. Here's the GPSD protocol,
which includes altitude:

I installed all three apps on the Nexus 7 and just installed on the Nexus 5x
phone last night. Haven't tried bringing it up on the phone yet as it was still
busy installing packages when I went to sleep.
Sometimes I'm having trouble killing GNUroot. Any pointers? Tried "exit" in the
terminal window this morning and it didn't, so I rebooted the phone. That did it. Most of
the time typing exit there works.
I was having trouble initially shrinking the XServer from full-screen as well,
but sliding my finger from the edge of the device over the edge where the three
Android icons should be makes them show up, then I can shrink it, get to the
notification bar, and shut it down from there.
Had trouble once starting up Xastir: Couldn't get the Android keyboard to come
up in the xterm. I tried starting Xastir from the GNUroot window but it
couldn't find the display. Maybe I forgot to set the DISPLAY variable. I'll get
the magic invocations down eventually.
