<p><code>gpsd</code> should work with any GPS using an RS232C or USB
interface that advertises NMEA-0183 compliance.  Here are some notes
on hardware we have tested.  Hyperlinks lead to technical information.
The "Works with" column is the last <code>gpsd</code> version with
which this GPS is known to have been successfully tested; A "*" in
this column means we have a regression test load for the device that
is checked before each release. Vendors are listed in alphabetical
order. There is also a <a href="#timing">table of receivers</a> which
may be appropriate for timing use.</p>

<p><b>Warning:</b> the baudrate-hunting code in <code>gpsd</code>
tickles serious firmwares bug on some Bluetooth and USB devices, notably
those shipped by Holux and including the GPSlim-236.  These bugs may send
affected GPSes catatonic.  See this <a
href="upstream-bugs.html#bluetooth">bug warning</a> for a description
of the problem.</p>

<p>Devices marked with a <img src="discontinued.png"/> have been
discontinued by their manufacturers.</p>

<p>Please help us extend this table with new devices by filling out 
<a href="https://www.mainframe.cx/cgi-bin/gps_report.cgi">this form</a>.</p>
