theres a breakdown of the gpsd protocol, its pretty simple stuff, all
kismac would have to do is open a connection, and pass "p" to it
everytime it wanted the lat/lon..
UDP would be okay too, but i cant imagine it being too much better
performance wise than just maintaining a tcp connection to gpsd on startup..
