Now that the relevant TTY port is obtained, you can check to see if the
GPS receiver is doing its job, using the following command:
$ sudo cat /dev/ttyACM0 | grep GPRMC
$GPRMC,161053.00,A,3719.54074,N,12201.49867,W,0.079,,110415,,

The RMC - NMEA has its own version of essential GPS pvt (position,
velocity, time) data, which represents the following information:
$GPRMC,123519,A,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,022.4,084.4,230394,003.1,W*6A

To test the higher level functionality of the GPS dongle, we can
use the services of gpsd, a service daemon, that monitors one or more
GPS modules and makes the pcv (position,course,velocity) data avail-
able via the TCP port 2947 of the host system.
