## About this manual page

This manual page explain the basic functions of Friendsd2 for GpsDrive and some additional info.

## DESCRIPTION

**Friendsd2** is a central daemon which takes UDP packets from gpsdrive clients and stores them. Later he sends them back to all the connecte gpsd-client so they can show all the Geo-Locations of all other users connected to this friendsd. One central friendsd is running at friends.gpsdrive.de.

## BUGS

The current friendsd can only hold a limited number of users, since he sends only one UDP packet to the client for response.
