ggps

ggps is a Python and GTK (PyGTK) based GPSD Client.
It shows the status of GPSD in the Systray and open a window like xgps when you click at the symbol.
Note: ggps 0.4 is not compatible with gpsd versions >=0.90

Fullscreen (F11) 1920x1200


The symbols are normal GTK Icons:
Connect - Connected with GPSD
Disconnect - Not Connected
Yes - GPS Fix
No - No GPS Fix

To use it with Debian/Ubuntu you need the packages python-gtk2 and python-gps. I tested it with Ubuntu 9.04+ and a Gnome Desktop.

To start it make the file executable or start it with python.
