<p>
<a href="GypsyDevice.html" title="GypsyDevice"><span class="type">GypsyDevice</span></a> is used whenever the client program wishes to know about
changes in the device's status. It has signals for connection status and
fix status. It can also be used to tell gypsy-daemon to start or stop parsing
sentences from the GPS device.
</p>
<p>
A <a href="GypsyDevice.html" title="GypsyDevice"><span class="type">GypsyDevice</span></a> object is created using <a href="GypsyDevice.html#gypsy-device-new"><code class="function">gypsy_device_new()</code></a> using the D-Bus path of
the GPS device. This path is returned from the <a href="GypsyControl.html#gypsy-control-create"><code class="function">gypsy_control_create()</code></a> 
function. The client can start the GPS data stream with <a href="GypsyDevice.html#gypsy-device-start"><code class="function">gypsy_device_start()</code></a>,
stop it with <a href="GypsyDevice.html#gypsy-device-stop"><code class="function">gypsy_device_stop()</code></a>, or find out about the status with
<a href="GypsyDevice.html#gypsy-device-get-fix-status"><code class="function">gypsy_device_get_fix_status()</code></a> and <a href="GypsyDevice.html#gypsy-device-get-connection-status"><code class="function">gypsy_device_get_connection_status()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
As the fix status and connection status change, <a href="GypsyDevice.html" title="GypsyDevice"><span class="type">GypsyDevice</span></a> will emit the
<a href="GypsyDevice.html#GypsyDevice-fix-status-changed"><span class="type">GypsyDevice::fix-status-changed</span></a> and <a href="GypsyDevice.html#GypsyDevice-connection-changed"><span class="type">GypsyDevice::connection-changed</span></a> signals
respectively.
