+Following steps from https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/installation.html
+
+gpsd steps:
+
+plug it in and type:
+
+ls /dev/ttyUSB*
+
+the last digit is your device number - could be 0 or 1 or other number.  The rest of the commands assume it is 0, so device is /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+See if you can get NMEA data out of it (you may need to type it twice to get it to work):
+
+sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB0
+
+install gpsd software:
+
+sudo apt-get -y install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
+
+disable tcp daemon
+
+sudo systemctl disable gpsd
+sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
+sudo killall gpsd
+
+Now run it manually
+
+sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
+
+You can look at the result:
+
+gpsmon
+
+Try running ./gps.sh script to see if you get lat lon alt output
