NAME
       lcdgps - LCD client for gpsd

SYNOPSIS
       lcdgps [OPTIONS] [server[:port[:device]]]

       lcdgps -h

       lcdgps -V

DESCRIPTION
       lcdgps is a client that passes gpsd data to lcdproc, turning your car
       computer into a very expensive and nearly feature-free GPS receiver.
       Currently assumes a 4x40 LCD and writes data formatted to fit that size
       screen. Also displays 4- or 6-character Maidenhead grid square output.

       lcdgps does not require root privileges. It will also run fine as root.
       Running under sudo will cause loss of functionality.

OPTIONS
       -?, -h, --help
           Print a summary of options and then exit.

       -s, --sleep
           Sleep for 10 seconds before starting.

       -V, --version
           Print the package version and exit.

ARGUMENTS
       By default, clients collect data from the local gpsd daemon running on
       localhost, using the default GPSD port 2947. The optional argument to
       any client may override this behavior: [server[:port[:device]]]

       For further explanation, and examples, see the ARGUMENTS section in the
       gps(1) man page

ENVIRONMENT
       The environment variable GPSD_UNITS is checked if no unit system is
       specified on the command line. It may be set to 'i'. 'imperial', 'm',
       'metric', or 'n', 'nautical'.

       LC_MEASUREMENT and then LANG are checked if no unit system has been
       specified on the command line, or in GPSD_UNITS. If the value is 'C',
       'POSIX', or begins with 'en_US' the unit system is set to imperial. The
       default if no system has been selected defaults to metric.

RETURN VALUES
       0
           on success.

       1
           on failure
