Re: Ublox and GPSD 3.22

[Jeff Curtis]

Hi Gary,

The last long is there it’s not updating. It’s always the same while the ecef 
positions change slightly. Depending on when I get the 3D fix it may constantly 
report all 0 while the ecef values are correct. 

I only use the -p to ensure the values are updating and not fixed at some point 
in time.  Ilwhen in pure bema mode the last long altitude will slightly change 
position

I did follow the document to build but I must have missed a step, it’s failing 
with a python not 2.7 or greater needed. 

Thanks 
Jeff
