cat << EOF
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 of the sensors 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. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that
is substantially easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes. 

The gpsd distribution includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper class, and a Python module
that developers of gpsd-aware applications can use to encapsulate all communication with gpsd.
