[Xastir] Xastir 1.5 and ESR's gpsd daemon - longitude bad

[Richard E. Polivka]

Gentlemen,

If there is any other info that you need, let me know. Xastir is working 
just fine with the GPS head and the program reading from /dev/ttyUSB0 as 
a direct serial connection in NMEA mode and not having gpsd running.

The GPS unit will work in NMEA and SI-RF binary modes. Whenever I have 
gpsd running, it puts the GPS into binary mode. So, IMO, it would have 
to take the binary data and recreate and serve NMEA strings for clients 
to use upon the client's request. I will check to see if I can keep gpsd 
from switching to binary and see if that helps.

Best Regards,
