Or any long lasting program.  The program has to be looping/sleeping
somewhere to be ready for callbacks, user input, or gpsd input.

I'll bet he does have a loop, he has to be waiting somewhere for
the thread to get back to him.  Adding another thread is just an
overcomplication.

Wherever he is sitting, waaiting for work, that is a loop.  Just poll
gpsd in there.
