### NMEA Pass-Through
If you need the **raw** NMEA data (for example if your GPS is not supported by the built-in mini-gpsd, or you want to
run your own gpsd), set `nmeapassthough` to `true`, for example:
```yaml
gpsd_address: 0.0.0.0:8888
nmeapassthough: true
```
Note that if you plan to use Pat, you'd need to run `gpsd` to use
the position of the GNSS receiver.
## How to run
As a rule of thumb, you have to start the PACTOR-TCP-bridge before you want to use
