<p>
      Gypsy is a GPS multiplexer daemon for allowing multiple location-aware
      programs to receive data from the same GPS device. Gypsy was designed for
      all manner of systems from the high end desktops and laptops, right down
      to low power handheld systems and mobile phones.
    </p>
<p>
      Applications talk to the Gypsy daemon over DBus, which handles all
      communication with the GPS device.  It parses the data from the GPS, and
      emits DBus signals when data has changed.
