<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<refsect2><title>xgps</title>
<para><application>xgps</application> is a simple test client for
<application>gpsd</application> with an X interface. It displays
current GPS position/time/velocity information and (for GPSes that
support the feature) the locations of accessible satellites.</para>
<para><application>xgps</application> accepts an -h option as for
<application>gpsd</application>, or a -V option to dump the package
version and exit.</para>
<para>An optional argument may specify a server to get data from; a
colon-separated suffix is taken as a port number. If there is a second
colon-separated suffix, that is taken as a device name to be handed
to the daemon in an F= command.</para>
<para>The <option>-speedunits</option> option can be used to set the
speed units for display; follow the keyword with knots for nautical
miles per hour, kph for kilometres per hour, or mph for miles per
hour. The default is miles per hour. This option can also be set as
the X resource 'speedunits'.</para>
<para>The <option>-altunits</option> option can be used to set the
altitude units for display; follow the keyword with 'meters' or
'feet'. The default is feet. This option can also be set as the X
resource 'altunits'.</para>
<para> The <option>-l</option> option sets the format of latitude and
longitude reports. The value 'd' produces decimal degrees and is the
default. The value 'm' produces degrees and decimal minutes. The
value 's' produces degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds.</para>
<para>The <option>-s</option> option sets the number of received
sentences to process after any fix is received before blanking any
field. By default it is set to 4, which prevents annoying display flicker
on NMEA devices that send several difference sentence types per
update cycle, only one of which is a true fix. Set this option to zero to
disable smoothing and see each update exactly as it is sent. </para>
<para>There is a known bug in <application>xgps</application>; it
assumes the default font size is no more than 18 pixels. If this
is not the case, the satellite data display will show fewer than
12 satellites.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>xgpsspeed</title>
<para><application>xgpsspeed</application> is a speedometer that uses
position information from the GPS. It accepts an -h option and
optional argument as for <application>gps</application>, or a -V
option to dump the package version and exit. Additionally, it accepts
-rv (reverse video) and -nc (needle color) options.</para>
<para>The -speedunits option can be used to set the speed units for
display; follow the keyword with knots for nautical miles per hour,
kph for kilometres per hour, or mph for miles per hour. The default
is miles per hour. This option can also be set as the X resource
'speedunits'.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>cgps</title>
<para><application>cgps</application> is a client resembling
<application>xgps</application>, but without the pictorial
satellite display and able to run on a serial terminal or
terminal emulator.</para>
<para> The <option>-s</option> option prevents <application>cgps</application>
from printing the raw data. This display can also be toggled with the s
command.</para>
<para>Rather than use X resources to determine which units to use,
<application>cgps</application> looks at variables in its environment.
Here are the variables and values it checks:</para>
<screen>
GPSD_UNITS one of:
imperial = miles/feet
nautical = knots/feet
metric = km/meters
LC_MEASUREMENT
en_US = miles/feet
C = miles/feet
POSIX = miles/feet
[other] = km/meters
LANG
en_US = miles/feet
C = miles/feet
POSIX = miles/feet
[other] = km/meters
</screen>
<para><application>cgps</application> terminates when you send it a
SIGHUP or SIGINT; given default terminal settings this will happen
when you type Ctl-C at it. It will also terminate on 'q'</para>
<!--
<para>The 'j' command toggles whether or not fix data is cleared at
start of cycle; see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gpsd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for discussion.</para>
-->
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>cgpxlogger</title>
<para>This program connects to gpsd, polls for location, and logs
each fix to standard output in GPX (XML) format.</para>
<para>The program also writes start and end messages to syslog.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>gpxlogger</title>
<para>This program listens to DBUS broadcasts from gpsd (org.gpsd.fix)
and logs each fix to standard output as they arrive in an XML format.</para>
<para>The output may be composed of multiple tracks. A new track is
created if there's no fix for 5 seconds.</para>
<para>The program also writes start and end messages to syslog.</para>
