Description

A GPS daemon and library that reads location data from USB or serial GPS devices and makes it available to applications. It supports navigation, mapping, timing, tracking, and geospatial workflows that need live GPS data.

Use it only when you intend to expose location data to local clients. Location information is sensitive, so control which services can access the daemon and where logs are stored.
