 <p><code>gpsd</code> is a service daemon that monitors one or more
 GPSes or AIS receivers attached to a host computer through serial or
 USB ports, making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
-sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer.
-With <code>gpsd</code>, multiple location-aware client applications (such as
-navigational and wardriving software) can share access to receivers
-without contention or loss of data. Also, <code>gpsd</code> responds
-to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than
-the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.  The <code>gpsd</code>
-distribution includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper
-class, and a Python module that developers of <code>gpsd</code>-aware
-applications can use to encapsulate all communication with
-<code>gpsd</code>. Third-party client bindings for Java and Perl 
-also exist.</p>

+<p>With <code>gpsd</code>, multiple location-aware client applications
+can share access to supported sensors without contention or loss of
+data. Also, <code>gpsd</code> responds to queries with a format that
+is substantially easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most

+client bindings for Java and Perl also exist.</p>
 
 <p>Besides <code>gpsd</code> itself, the project provides auxiliary
 tools for diagnostic monitoring and profiling of receivers and feeding
 location-aware applications GPS/AIS logs for diagnostic purposes.</p>
 
-<p>The goal of the <code>gpsd</code> project is to create a solid
-layer of open-source infrastructure for programs running under Linux
-and other open-source Unixes that want to be location-sensitive. We
-aim for simple, robust interfaces, unfussy operation, and an easy
-learning curve for application developers.</p>
+<p>GPSD is everywhere in mobile embedded systems. It underlies the map
+service on Android phones.  It's ubiquitous in drones, robot
+submarines, and driverless cars. It's increasingly common in recent
+generations of manned aircraft, marine navigation systems, and
+military vehicles.</p>
