NAME
lcdgps - LCD client for gpsd
SYNOPSIS
lcdgps [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]
lcdgps -h
lcdgps -V
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
Print a summary of options and then exit.
-s, --sleep
Sleep for 10 seconds before starting.
-V, --version
Print the package version and exit.
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
