Sure, the -N flag is to run gpsd in the foregound.

But if you want gpsd to run as a daemon, it cannot with the current
configuration.

If you remove the -N flag it will not function at all.

Moreover, modifications to the "EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/gpsd are
never read.

Try it.  Modify the options, change the device....nothing.

Make the change to the unit file, *that is consistent* with dealing with
unix style daemons, such as gpsd, and all these problems go away.
