How accurate is it? I'm asking because when I run both my Palm T3 and my N800 with GPS units and showing the time, the N800 lags by one second approximately.. presumably because the N800 goes through daemons and whatnot while the T3 is more directly connected to the (GPS) iron (or less overhead at least).

gps-clockd is a tiny (14KB) daemon that runs in the background and synchronizes the clock to GPS time whenever GPS is turned on. The daemon is started automatically at boot time.

Could you tell us how faster the battery will drain with the GPS being activated all the time ?
In my small test (Map application running) it was not so bad at all.. the GPS was using just a small amount of battery (the indicator was still full at the end of the day, everything off).

Just to be clear, gps-clockd does not activate GPS when it's running. It piggybacks on other applications that use GPS.
gps-clockd should have a negligible effect on battery life, as it is event driven.

This utility now also logs time to first fix whenever GPS is turned on.

I tried to install gps-clockd on my N800 and I got a “incompatible application package” message.
[root@nokia ~]# cat /var/log/gps-clockd.log
[Sat Feb 2 20:47:25 2008] *** GPS Clock Daemon started ***
[Sat Feb 2 20:52:07 2008] GPS activated. Time to first fix 01m25s
[Sat Feb 2 20:52:07 2008] Adjusted clock by -0.39 seconds to match GPS time
[Sat Feb 2 21:02:08 2008] Adjusted clock by 0.14 seconds to match GPS time
