lcdgps - LCD client for gpsd
Contents
Arguments
By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on localhost, using the default GPSD
port 2947. The optional argument to any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]
For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the gps(1) man page

Description
lcdgps is a client that passes gpsd data to lcdproc, turning your car computer into a very expensive and
nearly feature-free GPS receiver. Currently assumes a 4x40 LCD and writes data formatted to fit that size
screen. Also displays 4- or 6-character Maidenhead grid square output.
lcdgps does not require root privileges. It will also run fine as root. Running under sudo will cause
loss of functionality.
Environment
The environment variable GPSD_UNITS is checked if no unit system is specified on the command line. It may
be set to 'i'. 'imperial', 'm', 'metric', or 'n', 'nautical'.
LC_MEASUREMENT and then LANG are checked if no unit system has been specified on the command line, or in
GPSD_UNITS. If the value is 'C', 'POSIX', or begins with 'en_US' the unit system is set to imperial. The
default if no system has been selected defaults to metric.
