That there's a deliberate delay programmed into the GPSD I don't buy for a second. Sounds like a pure simple bug to me. Particularly because the GPSD is called 'navicore-gpsd-helper', it's obviously meant to be used with a navigation system. And navigation systems can't have a delay like that, it makes the application next to useless.

ag2: Good find. It should explain some of the other problems described in other threads.
