Sort of a chicken and egg question.  Unless you started gpsd with '-n',
then gpsd does not probe for active GPS until after you connect.

I always start gpsd with '-n', so when I connect I get this:

{"class":"VERSION","release":"3.17~dev","rev":"release-3.16-701-g2e724963","proto_major":3,"proto_minor":12}
{"class":"DEVICES","devices":[{"class":"DEVICE","path":"/dev/ttyUSB0","driver":"u-blox","subtype":"SW
 1.00 (59842),HW 00070000,PROTVER 
14.00,GPS;SBAS;GLO;QZSS","activated":"2017-09-21T18:36:14.327Z","flags":1,"native":0,"bps":9600,"parity":"N","stopbits":1,"cycle":1.00,"mincycle":0.25}]}

Note the DEVICES class.  That shows the available devices.
