NAME¶

lcdgps - LCD client for gpsd

SYNOPSIS¶

lcdgps [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]

lcdgps -h

lcdgps -V

NOTE¶

Eurolinux support for this package is limited. %{note2}

DESCRIPTION¶

lcdgps is a client that passes gpsd data to lcdproc, turning your car computer into a very expensive and nearly feature-free GPS receiver. Currently assumes a 4x40 LCD and writes data formatted to fit that size screen. Also displays 4- or 6-character Maidenhead grid square output.

lcdgps does not require root privileges. It will also run fine as root. Running under sudo will cause loss of functionality.

OPTIONS¶

-?, -h, --help

-s, --sleep

-V, --version

ARGUMENTS¶

By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]

For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the gps(1) man page

ENVIRONMENT¶

The environment variable GPSD_UNITS is checked if no unit system is specified on the command line. It may be set to 'i'. 'imperial', 'm', 'metric', or 'n', 'nautical'.

LC_MEASUREMENT and then LANG are checked if no unit system has been specified on the command line, or in GPSD_UNITS. If the value is 'C', 'POSIX', or begins with 'en_US' the unit system is set to imperial. The default if no system has been selected defaults to metric.

RETURN VALUES¶

0

1
