FoxtrotGPS implicitly installs gpsd causing contention for TTY #62

I was following along with the instructions for using FoxtrotGPS to download map tiles. I installed it and started downloading tiles and noticed my car GPS timed out. I poked around a bit and found that GPSD was apparently installed by side-effect when I installed FoxtrotGPS. I removed it with a "sudo apt purge gpsd", rebooted and all was well.

After doing so, FoxtrotGPS does gripe about not being able to reach GPSD, but it doesn't seem to impact the ability to download map tiles.

I'm thinking this is probably just a documentation update. After installing FoxtrotGPS, if not using GPSD for car position, then just uninstall it.
