well, figure out why systemd is not doing what you want?

- did you run systemctl daemon-reload after removing your files?
- what does
   systemctl status gpsd.socket
   systemctl status gpsd.service
   journalctl -u gppsd.service

say?

that looks okay. Are you sure that your edge_config_gps_modem.service
only returns when ${GPSTTY} is actually available?

Using udev would be the appropriate way...
Whats in the log? Check the journcalctl output from above and also look
into your daemon.log/messages...

... get a new gpsd version. Not sure if socket activation actually
worked back then.
