RE: Use gpsd-client : xgps - holgerw - 2020-11-06 Hallo Didier For my usb-GPS i do only an connection to gpsd in "op-serial": the signal-k connection from gpsd will be automatically created by op-serial. This also works with an Moitessier-Hat, which additional gives its GPS & AIS-NMEA informations via gpsd to signal-k. for you xgps problem, have an look for the fonts, aka install free-fonts etc. good luck - holger RE: Use gpsd-client : xgps - Didier B - 2020-11-19 (2020-11-05, 08:19 PM)Didier B Wrote: Hi everybody !

a great tool when you are trouble hunting GPS signal receiving ! |
