GPS is an Adafruit Ultimate GPS Hat on a Raspberry Pi 2 B. I have two identical units and have had PPS working with ntp.

Is it possible to bring the PPS signal in on a serial port? I'm doing something similar but with different hardware; using an internal TTL level serial port rather than GPIO. I had no luck with GPIO. Also, I've found that it's best to have a time delay before starting gpsd:

root@AP1:~# cat /etc/rc.local
$( sleep 60 ; /etc/init.d/gpsd start ) &
exit 0

That 60 second delay apparently gives enough time to chrony to do whatever it needs to do. Make sure you delete SXXgpsd from rc.d if that's how it's starting.
