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.

       1
           on failure
