Re: [gpsd-users] GPSD - How to create a virtual GPS Source with lat/lon as input

[Hammenecker, Jules]

Hi Gary,

Thank your for the answer! 
I've looked at gpsfake which is indeed almost what is needed. 
However, I would like to update the lat/lon every second or so, so should I 
stop gpsfake, update the file and relaunch gspfake? Or can gpsfake accept named 
pipes?

Kind regards (and my apologies for my previous mail signature, was not intended 
😉 ) ,

Jules.

Cool.

Interesting.  Just be aware that there is no real NMEA standard...

Looks good.

Those two do not look correct...

Have we got a deal for you.  Did you look at gpsfake?  Did you notice all the 
regression file in tess/daemon?

gpsfake reads any GPS capture file (binary, NMEA, etc), and feeds to to gpsd.  
Check out the man page.  Run "scons check" to watch it work.

Too late.  And not legally enforceable.
