Re: [gpsd-users] PPS problem with u-blox 8

[Christian Rossi]

Hello Gary,

>   Any other problems?

With GPS receiver for timing it's possible to use a fixed position to 
increase the precision. With the receiver I use it is only possible to 
use a fixed altitude.

So with cgps and a fixed altitude there is "Altitude: n/a" with the 
ublox data and a blinking altitude with the NMEA data (the altitude and 
N/A).

And with gegps there is no altitude and an error:

% gegps
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gegps", line 101, in <module>
    f.write(kmlize(report))
  File "gegps", line 56, in kmlize
    altitude = tpv['alt']
  File "client.py", line 231, in __getitem__
    return self.__dict__[key]
KeyError: 'alt'
%

This is not really a problem for timing but it's link with timing 
application.

Regards
