Dear David
Thanks for the hint. I had read your notes but they did not help. You 
write under /Configuring gpsd to auto-start/: edit the file 
/etc/default/gpsd

Well the file is not there considered you use your self-built gpsd and 
had the standard old gpsd uninstalled. You have to create the file yourself.

Then you write to move the gpsd.service file using $mv

The better way is probably to leave the file and run $sudo ln -s 
/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.service to create one or two symlink(s) to that 
location.

Then for UART: I found the command enable_uart=1 in /boot/config.txt is 
enough, I did not need the dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt

However, I had to disable the serial debugging in /boot/cmdline.txt 
manually, rpi-config did not do the job.
