+Description: A monitoring daemon for GPSes, AIS radios, and other nav sensors.
+ gpsd is a userland daemon acting as a translator between GPS and
+ AIS receivers and their clients. gpsd listens on port 2947 for clients
+ requesting position/time/velocity information.  The receivers are
+ expected to generate position information in a well-known format -- as
+ NMEA-0183 sentences, SiRF binary, Rockwell binary, Garmin binary
+ format, or other vendor binary protocols.  gpsd takes this
+ information from the GPS and translates it into JSON objects in a uniform 
+ and well-documented format that easier for clients to understand.  The 
+ distribution includes sample clients, application interface libraries, 
+ and test/profiling tools.
