Good.  Did you actually run gpsd?  If so how?

Sounds like you forgot to run gpsd.  Check this way, as root:

    ps ax | sed -nE '1p;/gpsd/p'

gpsd will not start without a connected GNSS receiver.

Run that with debug enabled, as root, it will tell you the problem:

        gpsd -nND 4 /dev/gps0

This way, as root: gpsd -n /dev/gps0
