+<p><code>gpsd</code> should work with any GPS or AIS receiver using an
+RS232C or USB interface that advertises NMEA-0183 compliance. Here
+are some notes on hardware we have tested. Hyperlinks lead to
+technical information. The "Works with" column is the last
+<code>gpsd</code> version with which this receiver is known to have been
+successfully tested; A <img src="regression.png"/> in this column
+means we have a regression test load for the device that is checked
+before each release. Vendors are listed in alphabetical order.</p>
+
+<p>There is also a <a href="#timing">table of PPS-capable
+receivers</a> which may be appropriate for timing use.</p>
+
+<p><b>Warning:</b> the baudrate-hunting code in <code>gpsd</code>
+tickles serious firmware bugs on some Bluetooth and USB devices.
+These bugs may send affected GPSes catatonic. See this <a
+href="upstream-bugs.html#bluetooth">bug warning</a> for a description
+of the problem. Where possible, we indicate this in the device table.</p>
+
+<p>Icons used in the table:
+
+<ul>
+<li><img src="star.png"/><img src="star.png"/><img src="star.png"/><img
+src="star.png"> marks devices with <b>Excellent</b> performance: gpsd
+recognizes the receiver rapidly and reliably, reports are complete and
+correct.</li>
+
+<li><img src="star.png"/><img src="star.png"/><img src="star.png"/> marks
+devices with <b>Good</b> performance: <tt>gpsd</tt> has minor problems
+or lag recognizing the device, but reports are complete and
+correct.</li>
+
+<li><img src="star.png"/><img src="star.png"/> marks devices with
+<b>Fair</b> performance: reports have minor dropouts or problems,
+including occasional transient nonsense values.</li>
+
+<li><img src="star.png"/> marks devices with <b>Poor</b> performance:
+reports frequently have values that are wrong or nonsense.</li>
+
+<li><img src="bomb.png"/> marks devices which are <b>Broken</b>;
+gpsd frequently fails to recognize the device at all.</li>
+
+<li><img src="noconfigure.png"/> marks devices that needed the
+<tt>gpsd -b</tt> option when tested. Usually these are Bluetooth
+devices with defective firmware that does not handle baud-rate changes
+properly. Some poorly-designed USB devices choke if they are fed too
+many probe strings; these may work better with recent versions of
+<tt>gpsd</tt>, which interleaves probe writes with the first few
+packet reads.</li>
+
+<li><img src="regression.png"/> marks devices for which we have a
+regression-test load. These are checked on every release.</li>
+
+<li><img src="discontinued.png"/> marks devices that have been
+discontinued by their manufacturers.</li>
+
+<li><img src="hotplug.png"/> marks devices which will be recognized by
+the Linux hotplug system when they are plugged in. If you installed
+<tt>gpsd</tt> from a binary package,or did "make udev-install" from
+the source distribution, this should mean you never have to launch
+<tt>gpsd</tt> manually; the udev syatem will launch it for you when
+it sees a device of this kind go active.</li>
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>Note that in most cases (including the <img src="noconfigure.png"/>
+bug), poor ratings reflect problems not in <tt>gpsd</tt> but rather in
+device design and firmware so badly botched that <tt>gpsd</tt> cannot
+compensate.</p>
+
+<p>This table is generated from a capability database in the
+<code>gpsd</code> source tree. Please help us enrich the database with
+new devices by filling out <a href="@WEBFORM@">this form</a>.</p>
