Yes, depending.  gpsd does not support "send GGA" mount points.  All
gpsd does is pass along the RTCM data.  Different iMAX mountpoints send
different RTCM3 packet types, that may, or my not be, sufficient for
your receiver.

One notable case is u-blox, which requires a proprietary RTCM 3 message
that common bas stations, like Leica, Trimble, do not provide.

I think you are referfing to the "send GGA" option that some iMax
NTRIP mount points need.  gpsd does not support that, partly because
the NTRIP specc is proprietary and we do not have a copy.  My local
ORGN can send iMax w/o the "send GGA" requirement.
