with gpsd, but there are two things to note. The GPS takes over the
serial console: /dev/ttyAMA0. The PPS signal will be on GPIO Pin #4.
+Only two specific changes need to be made to make the HAT work. First
+in the file /boot/cmdline.txt, remove this part "console=ttyAMA0,115200
+kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200)". That free the serial port from console use so
+the GPS can use it.
+
+Second you need to tell the boot process to load the pps_gpio module
+and attach /dev/pps0 to GPIO ping 4. Do that by adding this line
+to the bottom of /boot/config.txt: dtoverlay=pps-gpio,gpiopin=4
+
+Reboot and proceed as for any other operating system to use gpsd.
