+gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes attached to
+a host computer through serial or USB ports, making all data on the
+location/course/velocity available to be queried on TCP port 2947
+of the host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
+(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share access to
+GPSes without contention or loss of data.
+
+Applications that presently use gpsd include pyGPS, Kismet, GPSdrive,
+gpeGPS, position, roadmap, roadnav, and gaia.
