Well, it is working for you, my posts are not
making it to the list for some reason ... sigh.

Anyhow, I have joined the gpsd-users list and have
received excellent feedback there.

They see gpsdrive as somewhat unstable for mapping ...

Would you say this is a fair assessment or might they
be describing an older version of gpsdrive?

I want to buy a Bluetooth GPS for gpsdrive but not
if navigation is unreliable.

WDYT?
