Networking
The following networking features are available as technology previews.
gpsd-minimal
The gpsd-minimal package is available as a technical preview.
gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor
connected to the host computer by serial or USB interface, making its data on the
location, course, and velocity of the sensor available to be queried on TCP port
2947 of the host computer.
