I have an application which needs to check the current location every so often (configurable but usually between 5 seconds and 5 minutes), I have previously been checking this by calling a Python script and parsing the terminal output in C++, which is obviously not he best solution.

I would like to be able to communicate with GPSd from within C++ but cannot seem to find a suitable library, is there something obvious I am missing or will I have to find another way around this?

From the gpsd homepage:

The gpsd distribution includes a linkable C service library, a C++ wrapper class, and a Python module that developers of gpsd-aware applications can use to encapsulate all communication with gpsd.

So there's no separate project, the gpsd source download itself contains the library you're looking for.
