Field 6 is called the "Quality Indicator", which is split up into "mode"
and "status".
Right. But STATUS_RTK_FIX (3) is what gpsd sets after parsing GGA NMEA in processGGA() (confirmed in gdb).
So it looks like this issue was fixed in 3.19 but broken in 3.17-5, Confirmed by a custom build.
Gary, is there any reason why 3.19 hasn't been pushed upstream so 18.04+ (and <insert your favorite distro here>) just installs it automatically? This is a bit frustrating that I have to build gpsd from source to pick up a fix like this.
