[2008.12] gps sight with gpsd

[Robin Paulson]

i installed gps sight today and fired it up, but couldn't connect to
the gps. tango was showing a good fix, so gpsd was running. i looked
on the wiki page, and through some rather ambiguous writing, i
surmised that gps sight implements it's own intermediary for
communicating with the gps hardware. is this correct? i turned off
gpsd, but still couldn't get a fix.

does gypsy offer an alternative which will work for gps sight, and
gpsd reliant software?

cheers
