ADAFruit ultimate USB GpS:


Yes.  If I have this set up with a large RF shield, this obtains a fix in seconds.  However, I need a form factor similar to a Raspberry PI Zero AND I have to shield the GPS unit from the Raspberry PI RF fields.  This reduces the gain of the patch antenna and thus reduces S/N ratios and increases fix time.

I am competing with a SiRF chip set, so minutes is not a major problem.

OK, I can:

- disable gpsd

- cat /dev/ttyUSB0

and I should see the native GPS stream.

Do I understand correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Good.  What model GPS?  From that I can tell the number of channles
you have and make a guess as to the shape of you TTTF probabilities.

So every time the receiver has to guess what sats may be in view, and
start to search for them.

There have been a lot of changes in how gpsd reports data from a GPS
without a fix.  So I expect you to see differences in the "No FIX" state,
but not in the "2D" or "3D FIX" state.

To compare, you can always just grabs the data from the serial port
directly and remove gpsd from the equation.
