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

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.
