Application name is misleading -- not a gpsd client. #7

A gpsd client is something that connects to a gpsd server in order to RECEIVE/CONSUME location data. In the case of Android, that would imply a HAL, which would allow Android to become a client of gpsd. This is a feeder application, not a gpsd client. Strictly speaking, gpsd becomes a CLIENT of THIS.

Gpsd now includes an Android HAL, as well as a demo client written in C.

I'm willing to change the name if you have a good alternative. GPSd feeder? GPSd forwarder? I'll give it some thought too.

lbdroid commented 5 years ago

feeder, forwarder, backend, anything of that sort would be suitable.

I'm changing the name to GPSd Forwarder next time I do a release.
