I could and will do that by the end of the year in my free days around
the change of the year;

Yes, this works very nice; but for folks without a FR there should be
choices as well, i.e. a small list of GPS gadgets which work with
FreeBSD USB drivers;

Concerning gpsd running on the FR, I encounter that tangoGPS tries to connect
to 127.0.0.1 and not to the configured host 192.168.0.202; you have to
press the GPSD button in tangoGPS config page to make it connect to the
remote host; will check the sources for this bug/feature...
