[gpsd-users] Help with GPSD

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem specifically related to gpsd in foreground mode, it seems to not be able to pick up my GPS device (BU-353) although xgps works and same for gpsmon.

cat /dev/ttyUSB0 shows that the device is outputting stuff, but gpsd just says 'GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000019 sec since data)'

Here is a log after using: gpsd -b -n -N -D 2 /dev/ttyUSB0

gpsd: launching (Version 2.95)

gpsd: listening on port gpsd

gpsd: running with effective group ID 0

gpsd: running with effective user ID 0

gpsd: opening read-only GPS data source type 3 and at '/dev/ttyUSB0'

gpsd: speed 4800, 8N1

gpsd: attempting USB device enumeration.

gpsd: speed 4800, 8N1

gpsd: gpsd_activate(): opened GPS (fd 6)

gpsd: NTPD ntpd_link_activate: 1

gpsd: /dev/ttyUSB0 identified as type SiRF binary (0.470842 sec @ 4800bps)

gpsd: SiRF: Writing error.

gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000018 sec since data)

I just need a component which outputs latitude and longitude. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am using a program to read the standard output and use it accordingly.

Just to summarize:

- xgps works after running gpsd -b /dev/ttyUSB0

- gpsmon works

- gpsdrive doesn't work

- cat shows output valus from ttyUSB0

- gpsd in foreground mode -doesnt work-

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
