Yo Gary,

But works for me this way:

Yes, it's the optionĀ  -GĀ  or --listenany
without it isn't working, but with option -G it's fine.
I didn't realise that the listen statement also has an effect on outgoing connections too.

room for improvement

the simple one:
update man page for gpsd and add where an URL is described the info that -G is necessary.
And maybe at the option itself that it is needed for outgoing connections.

the complex one:
update gpsd source code. whenever an URL is used but no -G option available then write a human understandable error message and terminate.

root# /usr/local/sbin/gpsd -l
# Magic Hat enabled.
Why no MAGIC HAT?

No idea. I even don't know what it is. But doesn't matter, it's working now.

Kind regards
Hans
