Since the last fix.

two Time and Position Pairs.  speed = (p2 - p2) / (t2 - t1)

But no need to get deep.  Your NMEA is broken.  Your NMEA needs to look
like valid NMEA.  Otherwise it will fail in ways no one expects.

It depends.  Given that your code violates NMEA expectations, I'm
not going to bother dissecting what gpsd does with broken input.

Here are the first lines of your file, trimmed to the first 2 columns:

$GPRMC,114618.00,
$GPGGA,114618.00,
$GPRMC,114618.00,
$GPGGA,114618.00,

$GPRMC,114618.00,
$GPGGA,114618.00,
$GPRMC,114618.00,
$GPGGA,114618.00,
$GPRMC,114618.00,
$GPGGA,114618.00,
$GPRMC,114618.00,

Note the time never changes.  gpsd neesd the time to change in order to
know when to compute data, clear data, report data, etc.

Fix your input.
