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.

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]]]

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.
