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:

Modified by Chen Wei <weichen302@aol.com> for use with gpsd
Cleaned up and adapted for the GPSD project by Eric S. Raymond.
