How to wire up
It can be just wire to your Raspberry Pi B/B+/2B's GPIO Pin, TxD and RxD as following picture:
How to use it
1. After power on and login to system. you can open a terminal and typing following command to install packages for GPS module.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
2.Reboot your Raspberry Pi and login, also typing command in your terminal, it will help you reconfigure your gpsd service:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
3. Start the gpsd service:
sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
4.you can stop the gpsd service:
sudo killall gpsd
5.You can also use systemctl command to manage this service,but at the first, you should modify the configuration file of gpsd in /etc/default/gpsd,
filling the blank with your device name and socket name and path.
Start service:
sudo systemctl enable gpsd.sock
sudo systemctl start gpsd.sock
Stop service:
sudo systemctl stop gpsd.sock
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.sock
Finally, use this command to get information from GPS module.
sudo cgps -s
You will see this:
