Looking at this GPS module which has a USB-C connector.


Can I plug this straight into the USB port and address it through gpsd or do I need to do something funky and connect it via GPIO?
 
That was my thinking, I really just needed someone else to give me a sanity check, thanks.
 
All sorted. Plugged it in, installed gpsd, added a line to /etc/default/gpsd that reads GPSD_OPTIONS="/dev/ttyUSB0", rebooted and it's working.
