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
.
