[ gpsdrive ] Re: [pskmail] gpsd, problems

[kd4e <kd4e@verizon.net>]

gpsdrive with gpsd opens up OK under Puppy Linux 2.13
and 2.14 but since I am having difficult getting my
USB-Bluetooth adapter working I have been unable to
test it with my Bluetooth GPS!  :-(

I have copied the gpsd and gpsdrive lists in hopes
someone there can assist you.
