Enough with the sudo!  Just sudon't!  ubxtool does not need to
be run as root.

Nor would I expect it to be.  Saving things in u-blox is a very
complicated subject.  It depends wildly on receiver version and
the PCB it is on.  I guess I need to add examples on that.

Yes.  Specifically this section:

Specific directions on constelattions are here:

Nor would I expwect it to be.  RESET is about resetting, not about
saving.  To save you use the SAVE option to ubxtool.  But even then
almost no u-blox on the consumer market will retain anything.

Your best bet ot to always rconfigure the reeiver just before you run
gpsd.  Or use tpsd device hook.
