# usage: gegps [-i] [-d kmldir]
#
# Feed location data from a running GPSD to a Google Earth instance.
# The -d argument is the location of the Google Earth installation
# directory.  If not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
#
# If you have the free (non-subscription) version, start by running with
# the -i option to drop a clue in the Google Earth installation directory,
# as 'Open_in_Google_Earth_RT_GPS.kml', then open that file in Places
# (File > Open...),
#
# The basic recipe is here:
# http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/GoogleEarthPlusRealTimeGPS
#
# This code originally by Jaroslaw Zachwieja and a guy referring
# to himself/herself as TJ(http://tjworld.net)
# Modified by Chen Wei <weichen302@aol.com> for use with gpsd
# Cleaned up and adapted for the GPSD project by Eric S. Raymond.

# This code runs compatibly under Python 2 and 3.x for x >= 2.
# Preserve this property!
