Actually it is the GPS API that kills gpsd and it works as planned. When the last gps user dies the gpsd is also killed because there are then no processes that needs GPS data. The older maemo-mapper version didn't use GPS API so gpsd was left running. > Any way to avoid this? Sure, leave at least one process running that needs GPS data. This can be either maemo-mapper in your case or a more simple program so that it would not eat too much resources, like gps-saver (http://gps-saver.garage.maemo.org/). You could for example run "gps_saver -n -N > /dev/null" which would keep gpsd running. Jukka
