Maybe there is a overlap in driver functionality, but for me, when I choose "Celestron NexStar" from the Stellarmate Web Manager as my telescope, the driver that is reported selected is "indi_celestron_gps". This works well for me... except that as I now have a new gpsd GPS receiver plugged into the RPi 3B+ I don't see a way for the gpsd time/location data to update the NexStar data. As a test, I have intentionally started up the CGEM DX with an incorrect date, and don't see that the indi indi_celestron_gps driver it is currently using is able to snoop on the real gpsd gps device to update it's values. Is this at all possible? I was hoping to set an accurate time/position on the mount for its own internal polar alignment routine (for when the scope is being using in a mixed visual observing / astrophotography environment).
Thanks, I already have that option enabled. I'll reboot both the RPi and Kstars on the client to see if that helps and report back. Well actually I already know that KStars on the client is reporting "GPS Location"
Well KStars is reporting "GPS Location" and the indi control panel shows that the date is updated in the Celestron NexStar driver. What doesn't seem to be updated is the hand set on the mount. As far as I can see, the RTC on the hand controller still reports an earlier date. I presume I should get this as close as possible to the correct date/time/location when doing the NexStar internal polar alignment, but not sweat the precision details (HH:MM:SS) needlessly?
