loewexy / gpsd-fake Goto Github PK

Hi there,

first of all, thanks a lot for providing this nice piece of open source software :-).

I am running ten fakers simultaneously in Docker containers and show their live positions on a map. It turns out that after a few minutes my ten dummy entities tend to pile up around the middle of the rectangle defined by the min and max values for latitude and longitude. Have you noticed this and do you see a simple way of adapting your random movement algorithm to get a wider distribution inside the rectangle?

I can provide a screenshot or more background information if needed.

Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback and best regards

Jannis

Hey Lucas,

I just gave it a try, since I am planning to use gpsd via JS on my Raspberry. Since my development machine does not have a GPS device, I was looking for options.

Your code runs great, my test parser is working fine on the Raspberry and with your fake gpsd server, also.

Are you willing to release it to npm? I'd love to use it as development dependency for my local dev environment.

Let me know what you think, I can help with creating a lib out of it and push it to npm.
