NAME
gegps - Google Earth client for gpsd
SYNOPSIS
gegps [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]
gegps -h
gegps -V
DESCRIPTION
gegps program collects fixes from gpsd and feeds them to a running
instance of Google Earth for live location tracking.
OPTIONS
-?, -h, --help
Print a summary of options and then exit.
-d DIR, --kmldir DIR
Specify the location of the Google Earth installation directory. If
not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
-D LVL, --debug LVL
Sets the debug level; it is primarily for use by GPSD developers. It
enables various progress messages to standard error.
--device DEVICE
Connect to device DEVICE on gpsd host.
--host HOST
Connect to gpsd on host HOST.
-i, --initialize
If you have the free (non-subscription) version, start by running
with the -i option to drop a clue in the Google Earth installation
directory, as 'Open_in_Google_Earth_RT_GPS.kml', then open that file
in Places (File > Open...). Run gegps in the normal way after that.
--port PORT
Connect to gpsd on port PORT.
-V, --version
Print the package version and exit.
gegps does not require root privileges, it should be run as the same user
that your Google Earth client is running as.
ARGUMENTS
By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on
localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to any
client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]
For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the
gps(1) man page
RETURN VALUES
0
on success.
