PPS and GPSD:

Many GPS receivers offer a 1PPS (one pulse per second) output that GPSD is capable of passing along to ntpd for use as an extremely accurate clock source. The "Claimed Accuracy" are taken from manufacturers' data sheets, and have not been independently verified.

Where specified, NTP time offsets have been measured by comparison with the NTP time service and reported by gpsd.
