gpsd wasn't my project, I adopted it. nmead doesn't look like it does anything that makes it interesting. my rule is "don't write something new where existing tools suffice", which is why i picked up gpsd. could you imagine what software we might have if everyone and his brother hadn't written an mpeg video player (most of them based on the same libraries, just mostly "gui of the week")?

I heartily embrace your world-weary attitude with respect to everybody and their brother. I just found it interesting that that gent wrote an ntp patch for the less capable nmead (a patch that does something I like) that also happens to work with the more capable gpsd.

My goal is simple: have fewer than 2 GPS in my car!
