I've found the problem in my current setup!!

I was running QLGT 1.2.2 against a gpsd v3.3 !!!

There seems to be some modifications to the json protocol between gpsd v2.95 
and 3.3 which prevent QLGT to pick up the information.

I changed the gpsd back to version 2.95 and now it works as designed. :-)

BTW, forwarding the port with either ssh or portfwd seems to work perfectly!!

Thanks,
Klaus
