A lot of it probably has to do with tool familiarity. gpsd has some nice tools. In AMB: amb-listen Location or amb-get Location will tell you if it's working. If you want to know why it's not working, running ambd with -d5 or -d7 will spit out a lot of debug about the NMEA messages from the gps device. > Would be good to have that for AMB too (and not just for GPS).There is the > examples subdir in the repo but > there is no repo for it.

What do you find useful in cgps? Would adding a "SatellitesInView" property that you can easily get via amb-get/amb-listen be useful? Possibly a "GpsFix" property that tells you what level of fix (1, 2, or 3D fix)? > >> >> > multiple layers of software involved and gps receivers can be rather >> > finicky >> > we stuck with what we know.
