[Xastir] Gpsd errors in xastir

[KA7O]

Hi John,

I also use a USB receiver (UniTraQ BT-5722) and gpsd with Xastir. I find 
it quite handy to use xgps (part of gpsd-tools on Fedora) to monitor sat 
status and the gpsd feed. And, fwiw, using a CVS update of Xastir 
compiled this evening - it's all working fine here.

As I understand it, gpsd passes along the serial $GPSx strings as 
they're received from the receiver. Not sure what 'new format' you're 
talking about.
