Of course that is why is it not automatic. I have no problem with
that. But if I know there is a device, there is no mechanism for
starting it. In the forum thread referenced earlier, there is a claim
that older versions of gpsd in openSUSE had an init.d script that
could be enabled. The same thing is still needed. If it is init.d or
systemd is less a question. But the thread has a start at a systemd
startup definition. So I will peruse that. Maybe it will find it's way
in to the gpsd package if the maintainers are interested.

I am curious if there are any plans for a systemd method to start gpsd. I see that if the GPS is a USB device, then it is started via udev. But what if it is an RS-232 device? I think that then you must make your own startup script. I have no problem doing so. But is seems a bit odd to only start it automatically for a certain class of devices and do nothing at all for another class.
Might that not be because USB produces an interrupt when devices are connected/disconnected whereas you get no such thing with RS232?
