gpsd tcp feed option resilience

[Nick Taylor]

Hi

We've just started using the DEVICE tcp:// feed option, however it 
doesn't seem all that reliable.

If I stop the feed then gpsd seems to drop the device from it's list.

I think it would be better if this option could be made more resilient 
and reliable possibly with reconnect attempts if that's necessary to 
reestablish the connection.

Reason we need this is that our clients have their own GPS equipment and 
don't want additional GPS antenna with associated cabling, thus taking 
and NMEA gps feed seemed an ideal solution, however it needs to be reliable.

Is this a possibility?

Cheers

Nick
