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
