+In addition, the Android smartphone operating system (from version
4.0 onwards and possibly earlier; we don't know for sure when the
change happened) uses GPSD to monitor the phone's on-board GPS, so
every location-aware Android app is indirectly a GPSD client.</p>
+<p>GPSD is also extremely widely deployed in mobile embedded systems:
+it's a basic building block for navigation used by UAVs, robot
+submarines, and driverless cars as well as more conventional
+applications like marine navigation and military IFF systems.</p>

<p>Under Linux, <code>gpsd</code> normally runs with zero
configuration. Binary packages for this program install hotplug
scripts that do the right thing when a USB device goes active,
