SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       lcdgps is a client that passes gpsd data to lcdproc, turning your car
17       computer into a very expensive and nearly feature-free GPS receiver.
18       Currently assumes a 4x40 LCD and writes data formatted to fit that size
19       screen. Also displays 4- or 6-character Maidenhead grid square output.
20
21       lcdgps does not require root privileges. It will also run fine as root.
22       Running under sudo will cause loss of functionality.
23

ARGUMENTS

35       By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on
36       localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to
37       any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]
38
39       For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the
40       gps(1) man page
41

ENVIRONMENT

43       The environment variable GPSD_UNITS is checked if no unit system is
44       specified on the command line. It may be set to 'i'. 'imperial', 'm',
45       'metric', or 'n', 'nautical'.
46
47       LC_MEASUREMENT and then LANG are checked if no unit system has been
48       specified on the command line, or in GPSD_UNITS. If the value is 'C',
49       'POSIX', or begins with 'en_US' the unit system is set to imperial. The
50       default if no system has been selected defaults to metric.
