1) Turn off system(umb) control of gpsd.
2) as root: gpsd -n /dev/ttyACM1

Restart is the same os tsop and start.  So basically a start, and
you do not want to start gpsd under systemd(umber).

Did you read the link on how to do this that I previsouly sent?

Yes.

Which will fail because systemd(umbest) already has port 2947.

Which fails because gpsd is not running under systemd(rool) or by itesefl.

Looked pretty clear in your gpsdebuginfo to me.

Because you are running under systemd(umpkpof).

Yes.

If you do not have systemd(ung) running gpsd, then udev rules do not
matter.

Get this running without systemd(ither), or you need someone else to
help you.

That sorta worked, you have a 3D fix, but I do not understand why you do
not have any lat/lon/alt?  Did you let it run a while before the
cut/paste?

Is your system clock correct?  That also looks slightly wrong.

Weird to not have at least "n/a" in there?

Good fix, but you should wait longer than 12 seconds for things to
settle.

Looks like your system clock is set wrong.

Does not look "correct" to me.

Yes, systemd(rool) is clearly running.  And I keep asking you NOT
to use /dev/ttyGPS so I can debug your problems.

Doess not look correct, but I can't help you sith systemd(umb).

And without the output of gpsdebuginfo, at that moment, I have no idea
what it did.

That looks like just gpsd has port 2947.

And running on port /dev/ttyACM1, which we guess is your gps.

Can you confirm, by looking at dmesg, that /dev/ttyACM1 is in fact your
GPS?

>   956 ?        S<s    0:02 gpsd -n /dev/ttyACM1

The right command is running.

A working gpspipe would be helpful.

THat confirms gpsd is not under systemd(umber).

You now seem to have got sysgemd(rool) out of the way.
You now seem to be able to start gpsd from the command line.

I keep telling you to update your gpsd to a modern version.
And asking you to comfirm that /dev/ttyACM1 is your gps.

You also need to verify your system clock is correct.

Now that gpsd is running at your command, not someone elses, try this:

As root:

killall gpsd
sleep 2
gpsd -nND 4 /dev/ttyACM1

Let that run about 10 seconds, hit ^C, then send here the output.
