gpsd

Not Rated
Description
gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports, making all data on the location/course/ velocity of the sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer.

With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications can share access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.
