    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to get longitude and latitude coordinates from a GPS dongle I have here (BU-353). I have installed gpsd and gpsmon.</p> <p>Gpsmon correctly show my location and updates it. Whenever I run this command: </p> <pre><code>sudo gpsd -n -N -D 2 /dev/ttyUSB0 </code></pre> <p>I get this output:</p> <pre><code>gpsd: launching (Version 2.95) gpsd: listening on port gpsd gpsd: running with effective group ID 0 gpsd: running with effective user ID 0 gpsd: opening GPS data source type 3 at '/dev/ttyUSB0' gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1 gpsd: attempting USB device enumeration. gpsd: 1d6b:0001 (bus 1, device 1) gpsd: 80ee:0021 (bus 1, device 2) gpsd: 067b:2303 (bus 1, device 3) gpsd: vendor/product match with 091e:0003 not found gpsd: speed 9600, 8O1 gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1 gpsd: gpsd_activate(): opened GPS (fd 6) gpsd: speed 4800, 8N1 gpsd: NTPD ntpd_link_activate: 1 gpsd: /dev/ttyUSB0 identified as type SiRF binary (1.497303 sec @ 4800bps) gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000016 sec since data) gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000017 sec since data) gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000565 sec since data) gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000018 sec since data) gpsd: GPS on /dev/ttyUSB0 is offline (0.000019 sec since data) </code></pre> <p>And clearly isn't working.</p> <p><strong>My goal</strong> is to be able to have a script which keeps returning something like:</p> <p>XX.XXXXX N, XX,XXXXX E</p> <p>So, that I can read it from another program (in Erlang) and use it accordingly.</p> <p>More info:</p> <p><strong>Xgps</strong> works correctly.</p> <p>I believe the speed '9600' might be incorrect and something with the vendor ID, not sure though.</p>
