I'm attempting to use the gpsdRelay app, as it's the most recently updated gpsd app I could find on F-Droid

@rai68 your cup of tea I think.

This is probably a problem with the app that I'm using as what welcome_raw is being set to is most certainly not valid JSON. I presume that this plugin could be improved if there was a proper error message in the case that this happens.

If it's useful, welcome_raw is being set to this is my case: $GPRMC,######.00,A,#####.######,N,#####.######,W,0.0,0.0,#######,,,A,V*## I replaced the numbers that I presume represent my exact location with pound signs.

If your gpsdRelay, is some how sending raw nmea sentences then the plugin isnt gonna work at all.

[rai68]

Looking at gpsdRelay, your .device = "" config should be

"tcp://192.168.44.1:6000" and .host/port should be defaults

That did the trick, thanks for the help.
