Sorry, won't fix. We don't want the disturbed email we think we would get if that behavior suddenly changed.

Hi,

I had a problem with gpsd until I add this "-n" switch to gpsd. Maybe You consider adding '-n" switch as default to Debian 64bit distro. Power consumption in that case is not so important.

My setup is: Debian 64bit Stretch with gpsd-3.16-4 from debs, ublox EVK-6H device and the plugin:
https://github.com/jmechnich/qtposition_gpsd

My app (written in Qt) was getting data from gpsd through the plugin every 1 second. After a few minutes app received the same coordinates again and again even when I move, until I restarted the app and the deamon.

With "-n" switch it works flawlessly.

uBlox is:
{"class":"DEVICES","devices":[{"class":"DEVICE","path":"/dev/
ttyACM0","driver":"u-blox","subtype":"SW 7.03 (45970),HW 00040007,6.02
(36023)","activated":"2017-04-25T18:46:14.136Z","flags":1,"native":0,"bps":
9600,"parity":"N","stopbits":1,"cycle":1.00,"mincycle":0.25}]}

Best Regards
Marek
