I would  like to buy a skytraq venus 6 chipset gps receiver but I can't understand if it will work with gpsd. (I prefer using linux)
Can you help me?

Thank you from Italy

We don't know anything abouut these.  If you can give us an URL pointing
to technical documentation, we might be able to figure out whether or
not it's likely to work.

It's almost certain to work in NMEA mode. If it doesn't, make sure the
firmware is up-to-date and then send us some output from the receiver.

We don't have a binary mode driver. I do have the venus 6 binary
protocol reference, and it doesn't appear to contain anything useful,
like single-packet PVT solutions. I'm unlikely to write a binary
driver until that changes.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
