Re: [gpsd-users] count of satellites_used is incorrect

[Ralph Nemitz]

Yo Gary!

I switched from Version 3.16 to 3.17 and the data I got were the same, 
i.e. the count of "satellites.used" in the little programm are the same 
as in "gpsmon". The problem seems to be solved.
Nevertheless I thought there is only one structure (gps_data_t) to get 
the data. How can I distinguish TPV data from SKY data?

Regards

Ralph
