Description Andreas Bayer 2004-12-19 13:40:21 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I often change my position. I would like to have gps support in kstars, so that it will show the correct sky from my position.
Comment 1 kstars 2004-12-23 04:02:38 UTC
Excellent idea, adding to the TODO.
Comment 2 Médéric Boquien 2008-08-19 06:07:57 UTC
Related to bug 147743.
Comment 3 Jasem Mutlaq 2008-08-31 09:51:04 UTC
To be implemented in KStars for KDE 4.2
Comment 4 Jasem Mutlaq 2008-11-19 21:16:00 UTC
libindi is no longer part of KStars and therefore driver development is done outside KDE now. However, I assume that you own a GPS device that works with gpsd and willing to perform a few tests for a simple INDI driver that I intend to develop to support this feature?

Btw, KStars time & location can be polled from any INDI driver that provides the TIME_UTC and GEOGRAPHIC_COORDS properties (starting from KDE 4.2). But in order to communicate with gpsd, a new driver has to be developed and linked with libgps in order to extract these information from the device.
Comment 5 Jasem Mutlaq 2009-05-28 13:11:04 UTC
Please assign this bug to me. Actually, please assign all bugs currently assigned to kstars@30doradus.org to me.
Comment 6 Jasem Mutlaq 2009-08-25 17:18:23 UTC
Please raise the issue on INDI mailing list. An INDI driver needs to communicate to gpsd in order to send time/location information to KStars.
