From 3e3e09cfc9e07160b58a62f13137fe579f3f8623 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Boyd Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 16:21:51 -0700 Subject: Add the -r option to gpsd. -r allows gpsd to use the time from a GPS even if the GPS has no valid fix. This is useful on devices like the Raspberry Pi that have not battery backed RTC, but have a GPS with a battery backed RTC. Signed-off-by: Gary E.
