GPS App in Puppy?

[PaulBx1]

I noticed gpsd is also reporting that it "can't create socket". Not sure what socket it is talking about. I had run this command:

Code: Select all

gpsd -nN -D1 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock

That socket is there if i look when it is running. If I set the debug level to 8 I see this:

Code: Select all

control socket opened at /var/run/gpsd.sock
launching (Version 2.92)
Can't create socket

With D8 I do see a lot of communication between the gpsd and the device though. But I think it is bad that socket is not created.

BTW /etc/services appears to have the right data in it for this to work.

Try Tangogps and gpsd works a treat for me in lucid

I'd been receiving what looked like email for a scam .

After getting annoyed with this I decided to try and find the location
where the messages were coming from.
To do so I used two pieces of software , the first located the senders
I.P address , the second found the general location where the
message had been sent from .
In one instance the caller used a mobile phone to call from the
U.S.A and it appeared that he'd left the GPS on ; this provided
a much more accurate fix on the location .

Of course it's probably illegal ; however I was wondering if there
was some remote way to turn on the GPS of a mobile , this might
be useful information even if you don't want to be tracked.

Maybe the U.S.A , being the way it is on homeland security , likes
to have accurate GPS data on its citizens .

Anything available , through puppy linux , to help accurately locate
cellphones .
