22
23       -d DIR, --kmldir DIR
24           Specify the location of the Google Earth installation directory. If
25           not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
26
27       -D LVL, --debug LVL
28           Sets the debug level; it is primarily for use by GPSD developers.
29           It enables various progress messages to standard error.

38           If you have the free (non-subscription) version, start by running
39           with the -i option to drop a clue in the Google Earth installation
40           directory, as 'Open_in_Google_Earth_RT_GPS.kml', then open that
41           file in Places (File > Open...). Run gegps in the normal way after
42           that.

50       gegps does not require root privileges, it should be run as the same
51       user that your Google Earth client is running as.

ARGUMENTS

55       localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to
56       any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]
