Hi Gary
Many thanks for replying. As per your suggestion, have now built a
simple gps-watchdog to monitor connection if using NMEA
Best regards

We seem to still be having issues when we use NMEA feed with gpsd
If it ain't one thing, it's another...
Obviously opening of the tcp feed then fails - but in an ideal world
gpsd would retry until receiving a successful feed
Sadly, a lot harder than it looks. After the initial startup phase,
gpsd drops priviledges that would be needed for reconnects.
So gpsd does not do reconencts well. What the people that care do
is force gpsd to restart when the tcp is back up.
Patches welcome.
