Okay, this may be an issue:

sudo systemctl status gpsd

● gpsd.service – GPS (Global Positioning System) Daemon

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Active: active (running) since Thu 2020-06-11 17:26:08 PDT; 1min 25s ago

Process: 1528 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpsd $GPSD_OPTIONS $DEVICES (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Jun 11 17:26:55 hab-pi-3 gpsd[1529]: gpsd:ERROR: SER: device open of /dev/serial0 failed: Permission denied – retrying read-only

Jun 11 17:26:55 hab-pi-3 gpsd[1529]: gpsd:ERROR: SER: read-only device open of /dev/serial0 failed: Permission denied

Jun 11 17:26:55 hab-pi-3 gpsd[1529]: gpsd:ERROR: /dev/serial0: activation failed, freeing device

 

Then after running: sudo systemctl restart gpsd

sudo systemctl status gpsd

But then after a while, it goes back to the permission denied status
