[gpsd-users] setting/gettin almanac data trough gpsd

[Matthias Goldhoorn]

Is there currently a way to download and update the almanac and 
ephemeris data?

I plan to integrate it the GPS deamon to our new www.rock-robotics.org 
framework. But we currently use some slow and-not-so-nice GPS modules 
from antenova. these work more or less, but the are VERY slow for the 
first sync. I played around with the sirfdemo application for windows, 
and if i download and upload these information after an reboot i gain 
about an our.

So is there any implementation available or planned?.
