GPSDproxy Description

Free, open source and small GPS data reader GPSDproxy is a free and open source application which reads GPS data from a running gpsd process and forwards it to a remote server via an UDP connection. Here are some key features of "GPSDproxy": · Very low traffic: can upload the position every 10 seconds, 24h/24h, 7days/week and consume less than 100Mb/month (telco-plan friendly). · Assume an unreliable connection, like GPRS mobile. Uses UDP protocol without TCP/IP retransmission overhead. No acknowledgment from the server is required. Assumes that some data can be lost (future versions can implement some sort of aknowledge/retransmit). · Firewall friendly: mobile GPRS connections are often placed behind a NAT firewall, gpsdproxy works with just one outgoing UPD port. · Written in C for performance and small footprint. What's New in This Release: · Use daemon(3) to fork into background. · Added support for pid file. · Use syslog(3) to print messages when daemon. · Remove trailing spaces from GPS data packet.
