Product Description:

GPSd is an internet daemon for connecting to and sharing a single GPS device among multiple client programs running on one or many computers. It is also an extremely easy way to add GPS functionality to your own software.

gpsdX is a Universal Binary build of GPSd, complete with an installer and a GUI configuration utility that makes it easy to set up the daemon on your system.

gpsdX works with any program that supports GPSd (such as gpsdrive, KisMac or gps2geX) - if your GPS software doesn't support it yet, contact the developer and tell them about GPSd!

What's new in this version:

First public release. Previous release tested by users on the KisMAC mailing list.

New features:

  • Option to list all serial devices in the GUI config utility (in case your GPS doesn't show up as an RS232 device)
  • Button to remove launchd script (i.e. unconfigure gpsdX so it won't launch at system start any more)

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or higher
  • a GPS unit compatible with your computer
  • one or more GPSd client programs

gpsdX CommentaryGreat Idea, but... - Version: 1.2, 5/25/2006 11:19AM PST

GPSNavX
This is a great idea allowing GPS to be shared among applications. In fact we do allow sharing of the GPS between our applications (GPSNavX and MacENC using Notifications), but the requirement for OS X 10.4 precludes us from using this solution. Many of our users are using slightly older Macs and must run OS X 10.3.

Will consider incorporating for a future release of GPSNavX and MacENC.
