GPS in Version 6.3.5 How to Use it? #515

Description

@TheOneBananaMan

First of all: I love this tool! It's the most powerful tool for fully automated capturing of 3-way handshakes AND PMKIDs simultaneously, and for processing this data later with hashcat.

But if I manage to get this tool working with GPS enabled it would be a huge benefit for me:
When I looked at the man page it says --use_gpsd should gather the GPS data from GPSD and write it to pcapng or separate nmea file. But every time I try to use it this error shows:

even with --use_gps_device:

Is the man page just outdated or am I doing something wrong?

In other discussions I heard the whole GPS functionality moved to an other tool called hcxnmealog.
But how do I use this tool if I want to upload the data to tools like WiGLE to connect SSIDs with GPS? Is there any documentation how to use this tool with hcxdumptool at the same time?
I am using this tool on a Raspberry Pi 4 8g with Kali 2025 Rolling on it.

I appreciate any Help!
