SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect u-blox7 GPS connector. Open `cgps` to check it works fine.
2. Open Marble.
3. Select `gpsd` in `Location` > `Position Tracking`.

OBSERVED RESULT

Although the `cpgs` program shows I have a 3D FIX and gives me my exact location and GPS-coordinates, Marble keeps on "waiting for current location information...".

EXPECTED RESULT

Marble uses my GPS USB Dongle and detects my position just like the `cgps` CLI tool.

This looks like it is fixed already so I will mark it so. Just voice up if the bug is still present.
