In the document

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_geolocation

it says

"Firefox 3.6 (Gecko 1.9.2) added support for using the GPSD (GPS daemon) service for geolocation on Linux."

I am running 3.6.13 and GPSD on Fedora 13. How do I "turn on" using the GPSD for geolocation on my system?

Thanks.

A pointer to available documentation for using GPSD in FireFox would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response. the Bug you pointed at does, indeed, have a goodly amount of information, some of which I have been able to verify through my own experience (today!). In my case, I have am using an earlier version of gpsd and do not yet have to face the new protocol.

But I DID find what appears to be errors in the code that I was able to fix, and was successful in making my simple application work. I have communicated with the author of that segment of code and await further feedback from him about what to do next.
