+# ffac-update-location-gps
+
+This package configures gluon to update the location based on tty output of an attached GPS device.
+
+When a USB device which provides a tty is attached, it updates the location based on the output of it.
+This is done using a lua rewrite of the script from the original forum posting.
+It seems to work without coreutils-stty installed, which did fail the installation when selected as package dependency.
+
+The location is only updated in memory - and only if a valid GPS fix is available.
+After a reboot, the old location from the config is set.
+
+## hotplug limitation
+
+After a sysupgrade/autoupdate - the USB dongle has to be unplugged and plugged in once for the detection to work again.
+For reboots, this works fine as is.
