Start now and at login: brew services start gpsd
Run directly: $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/gpsd/sbin/gpsd -N -F $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/gpsd.sock
gpsd does not automatically detect GPS device addresses. Once started, you
need to force it to connect to your GPS:

    GPSD_SOCKET="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/gpsd.sock" $HOMEBREW_CELLAR/gpsd/3.27.5/sbin/gpsdctl add /dev/tty.usbserial-XYZ
