        Agreed.  It would really be best if gpsd did a UDP port in 
addition to, or instead of, the TCP port.  This way you wouldn't have 
to "bind" to it at all, you could just send it a packet and get back 
a response, and you could have many different applications able to 
use this information essentially simultaneously.
