You may be binding to the wrong serial. You discover the serial for your GPS device by navigating to the folder below without the device plugged in, then refreshing with the device plugged in.

cd /dev/
ls

or

dmesg | tail

My device maybe called "ttyACM0" or "ttyUSB0"

Install the requisite packages.

sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps

Stop Daemons

sudo systemctl stop gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket

Expose Service to public ports and localhost

nano /lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket

Change 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

Stop GPSD services

sudo kilall gpsd

Bind service to serial device

sudo gpsd /dev/ttyACM0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock

Show GPS Data

gpsmon

To create a GPS log file:

str2str -in serial://ttyXXX0 -out rover.ubx
