Do you have a gps receiver at all? If not, I'd suggest that you just remove gpsd or ignore the errors. Without a connected gps receiver it is obvious that you see errors.... gpsd is started as a daemon at boot time normally, so that is normal that you don't see a parent process. There are a lot of applications being able to use gpsd, pretty much all applications which do something with maps or some kind of geo/gis stuff. But again - without a gps receiver it doesn't make sense to have it installed.
