Got it.  And I can read it with gpsdecode just fine.

And you got the checksum correct as well.  But you did not share the
original.  Or the version og gpsd that you are running.

What is gpsfeed?

Looks about right.

Not much I can sasy about your app without seeing it.

Looks normal to me.

Look at your file, you set ALL the times to 114618.00.  Speed is change
in distance over change in time, but you have no change in time.

Yes, it is called TPV for a reason.  Time Position and Velocity.  Intertwined.

> Why speed == 0 instead null?

Since the time never changed, gpsd never was asked to compute speed.  gpsd
uses the time steps to internally trigger state changes.

Or, put another way: Garbage In, Gorbage Out.
