Using fso-gpsd seems to do warm start. It work quit OK, but there is 2
big problems that make me change to a classical gpsd allown:
 - fso-gpsd toggle GPS on/off automaticly, which seems to be a good
idea, but is not when tangogps segfault: You have to wait for another
fix before using it.
 - using fso-gpsd, I have sometimes no gps information during some
seconds or minutes, which is problematic when you are mapping for
openstreetmap.
