Yes.

I'm surprised -G on a client is not a fatal error.  And what are your
client settings?

Why do you use -F and specify a device?  That will confuse things.

Good.

What client is that?  What gpsd version?  Clearly the client is broken.

Yeah, you can ignore that error.  It only affect master/slave gpsd
when you start gps this way:  ./gpsd -N -D 5 gpsd://pizwcam.local

It has been fixed, but not in git head yet.  Since you are NOT running
master/slave gpsd it will not affect you.

Yup, nothing we can do about old gpsd code you got elsewhere.
