Yo Bernd!

I think you just need to use gpspipe.  That make a pipe from gpsd
protocol to NMEA protocol.
Maybe I am missing something but in order to serve NMEA data without "WATCH" on the network you would need gpsd, gpspipe and a third component to again make gpspipes output available on the net?

Hi,

the below 3 lines enable / disable nmea when a new subscriber
connects. This is needed to serve apps like iNavX who don't speak
gpsd. Would a proper patch have any chance to get review and into
gpsd when I submit one?

How about a new config option -W (--watch)? This option has either
the json command string {"enabled": true, ...} or a simple string
"nmea, raw" as parameter:

e.g. gpsd -W '{"enabled": true, "nmea": true, ...}'

or

gpsd -W 'nmea,json' if you want to enable nmea and json format at
client subscription.

Any preferences?

I use this patch in production with a hardcoded change in
allocate_client() but happy to provide a better patch with config
options and proper formating if there is interest.
