[I know next to nothing about Windows so if "under services" means Windows, this may be irrelevant.] gpsd works fine as a daemon. The details depend upon which OS and/or distribution you are using. There are two ways to setup gpsd. One is to grab the source tar file, build, install... The other is to get a version of gpsd and ancillary files setup for your distribution. If you do a >yum install gpsd< on Fedora, it will install a udev rule to start gpsd when a USB TTY device is plugged in. It also comes with /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpsd and /etc/sysconfig/gpsd so it should be easy to modify things to start on booting if you want it to use something like /dev/ttyS0 -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
