Try this:

put this as "gpsd.service" in /etc/systemd/system/



[Unit]
Description=GPS DaemonMOD #mod to disable sockets
ConditionPathExists=|/usr/sbin
After=network.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/gpsd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpsd -N $GPSD_OPTIONS $DEVICES

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target



Then do the following:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl enable gpsd.service

reboot. see if gpsd starts. you can give commandline options in
/etc/default/gpsd

Should work by then.

**********************************

I also use another systemd script to set initial baud rate of the port,
which might speed up gps recognition:

Put the following in /etc/systemd/system/gpsd_settty.service

[Unit]
Description=gpsd set initial baudrate for RGM2000 GPS
Before=gpsd.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/bin/stty -F /dev/ttyAMA0 speed 19200

[Install]
WantedBy=gpsd.service


Then do:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable gpsd_settty.service
reboot


Hope that helps.
